Don't measure for the sake of measurement. Measure to answer questions, reveal insights, inform decisions, and take action.

Find the Facts

It's possible

Finding facts, evidence and data for the impact of training and learning may not be easy but it's possible.

Find one thing

Find one thing about a person's behavior or performance you can attribute to training and learning and let that lead to the facts about impact.

Do you have evidence?

If someone were to ask, “Do you have evidence for the impact of your training programs?”, what would your answer be? 

Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid when the facts tell you training didn't work. Be afraid of not doing anything with what the facts tell you.

 "When I asked Kevin if he would share his knowledge and expertise with a UK and European audience of 600 Chief Learning Officers at Learning Live, I knew he would do a great job. What I didn't anticipate is the huge impact his talk has made on the people who attended our event." - Edmund Monk, CEO, The Learning and Performance Institute
