SUMMARY:Serious Evaluation for Serious Programs (Training Magazine)
DESCRIPTION:For years\, the learning and development field has struggled to 
 measure the true effectiveness of programs beyond basic knowledge and skill 
 acquisition. While reaction and learning metrics have been commonplace for 
 almost a century\, far fewer organizations have successfully measured 
 behavior change\, impact\, and especially ROI. Yet the most serious 
 learning programs\, those that are strategic\, costly\, and highly 
 visible\, demand this level of accountability. The good news: it’s now 
 not only possible but increasingly expected. This session will explore 
 what’s driving this shift\, what’s involved in measuring application\, 
 impact\, and ROI\, and how organizations are successfully demonstrating the 
 value of their major learning projects and initiatives. Participants will 
 gain a clear understanding of how to show executives the tangible results 
 that matter most. After attending the session\, participants should be able 
 to: Identify the five levels of outcome from any learning program\; List 
 the data desired by the executives and sponsors\; Design learning programs 
 for application and impact\; Plan next steps or serious 
 evaluation.\n\n\n\nFor more information and to register\, visit:
