Many organizations are asking tough questions about training: Does it change behavior? Does it move the business forward? Traditional evaluation models, too often focused on completions and satisfaction scores, rarely provide answers to those questions. These activity metrics often fail to influence decisions or shape strategy. At the same time, chasing ROI formulas can turn learning into a cost debate instead of a growth driver in the eyes of stakeholders.
It’s not for lack of trying, as our research found that 94% of organizations collect some form of training data.
It’s time for a smarter approach — one that connects learning to measurable outcomes and modern business priorities. Effective and intentional training evaluation can help learning and development (L&D) move beyond activity metrics and build a narrative of continuous improvement and innovation.
Join us for a Research Spotlight based on exclusive Training Industry insights that will explore how organizations can transform L&D from a perceived cost center into a strategic lever for growth. Building on the International Organization for Standardization’s 30437 standards for training evaluation, we’ll delve into the 5-4-3+ Continuous Improvement Framework, a practical model designed to help you align learning initiatives with organizational goals, demonstrate value through analytics and create a culture of ongoing improvement. You’ll walk away with actionable insights and practical tools to start reshaping your evaluation strategy immediately.
In this session, you’ll be able to answer questions like:
- Why do traditional evaluation models often fall short for today’s organizations?
- How do I measure training with greater strategic purpose?
- How do I effectively communicate the value of training to stakeholders?
We’ll explore practical ways to apply those answers using a research-backed framework to rethink your evaluation approach, shift stakeholder conversations and start positioning learning as a driver of measurable business outcomes.
Included with this session, you’ll also be gaining access to these exclusive, data-driven Training Industry research products:
