As I mentioned in the post, I don't think there is one solution to the evaluation question, but I do think this program did a great job of instilling the importance of Application and Business Impact as it applies to training, and offers some very actionable techniques hat can be used in appropriate situations.David Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817256772736805682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810840743125635248.post-87700545601670928652011-01-18T14:33:27.284-05:002011-01-18T14:33:27.284-05:00David - What was the certification program you ref...David - What was the certification program you referred to that teaches how to value training?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319044899397526483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810840743125635248.post-73440967540915191672011-01-18T13:14:49.751-05:002011-01-18T13:14:49.751-05:00Dave,

To me all but business results are formative measures. When the rubber hits (and stays) on the road - thats summative. The problem though with learning events is just that - the expectation that when the event ends all is well. Real outcomes should be measured through and in real world application of new knowledge and skills. If formal learning could be seen as a sandwich (Sorry, its lunchtime, I'm hungry) then the event is only the cold cuts. The bread being the precursor analysis and post-event support which are critical but tragically more often than not left off completely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903901686760230505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810840743125635248.post-59276201456390235432011-01-14T10:04:30.146-05:002011-01-14T10:04:30.146-05:00Dave, this is yet another excellent reflection.

I don't know that we can truly measure learning in a snapshot -- we can trace a journey, maybe, if we first understand as observers that we each have a perspective that we're bringing into it, and that we can describe change that takes place over time. I think inherent in your title is that recognition -- it's a journey: one that transforms you and those you encounter as it continues.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132383922822851022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810840743125635248.post-5587080117682176352011-01-14T09:58:07.087-05:002011-01-14T09:58:07.087-05:00Dave, agreed, depending upon the program you can l...Dave, agreed, depending upon the program you can look at ROE and/or apply more qualitative approaches like Brinkerhoff's Success Case. It's important that L&D advocate for metrics and partner, not avoid.Don Bolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06441428382741855293noreply@blogger.com
