SAN DIEGO — Sept. 12, 2025 — Blanchard®, a global pioneer in leadership development, consulting, and coaching for more than 45 years, is proud to announce the launch of Measurement Simplified: Using Data to Create the Story of Impact, a groundbreaking course that helps HR and L&D leaders easily track, evaluate, and demonstrate the business impact of leadership development programs.
Proving the value of leadership development can be challenging, and traditional measurement systems are often time-consuming, overly complex, and difficult to translate into meaningful business terms. And often HR and L&D teams aren’t equipped with the tools and skills to measure the impact easily. Measurement Simplified offers a straightforward, cost-effective alternative that puts clarity and confidence back into the evaluation process. It can be delivered in person in a two-day design or virtually in three 3-hour sessions.
“We’ve designed Measurement Simplified directly in response to what our clients have been asking for,” said Ann Rollins, Vice President, Custom Solutions. “This program is our way of filling that gap and ensuring our clients have what they need to positively articulate the impact of their training investments with clarity and confidence to business leaders. We believe this offering will empower HR and L&D leaders to do just that, in a straightforward and effective way.”
