Significant resources are being allocated to training and development across most organizations, but many companies still find themselves unsure of results. The return on investment formula is a financial calculation, but learning is a human behavior and needs a human calculation. L&D can’t prove ROI using the same methods other parts of the business do. So how can L&D professionals prove investments in employee development actually produce results?

In this webcast, Karen Hebert-Maccaro, chief content officer at O’Reilly, will:

  • Explain why ROI needs to be redefined for learning initiatives and the narrative shifted from causation to correlation.
  • Discuss how to correlate learner engagement with other critical organization metrics to tell an important story about the value of L&D investments.
  • Show you how to leverage Kirkpatrick’s model of assessment and create a targeted strategy around level three and four assessments.
  • Provide guidance on how to talk with your business leaders and other stakeholders about learning and argue “table stakes, not sweepstakes.”
