PROBLEMS
Too difficult to isolate impact of

Evaluation is not standardized

Not enough budget and skills
Business moves fast and loses
interest.

Deciding to Measure Learning Effectiveness
What is the value of T&L investments?
Executive Board
• That was the easy part!
Starting Point: T&L as a “HR Thing”, an Event
• < 1 in 10 learners discuss expected outcomes with line manager.
• Alignment to business not clear.
• Alignment to learner development plan low.
• Key measure = • No on the job follow-up or support.
• Action plans un-actioned.
• No measures of what happened…or why.
• “Black box”.
Before During After
Look Familiar?
Defining “Value”
Guiding Principle:In any transaction, the supplier determines the price, but the purchaser determines the value.
In order to measure value, first need to create conditions for value.

Business Level Measures WHAT: What is expected?
What does success look like? ? How will you recognize it?? Why this learning…target which business
objectives & priorities?? What will you reflect on in 6 months time
to decide if learning was worthwhile/ added value?
? Expected outcomes? … observable / measurable? KPI impacts? Trends? Feedback? What should CHANGE?

Importance of Why MeasuresExample of Actionable Insights
WHATHappened?
• Proficiency Gap Closure = 50% v Expectation (Target) of 80%.
WHYDid it happen?
• Action Plan Status = 60% Fully or Mostly Implemented.• Obstacles to apply learning on the job = 70% learners reported
higher/competing priorities.
WHATAction to take?
Current Cohort: Targeted business escalation, coaching. Future: Increase business to business communication re importance of
application to achieve business and career success, learn & leverage from strength business areas, add how to address higher/competing priorities to learning experience.

Challenges: Organisation &Process, Data, Enablers
Organisation • Identifying right stakeholders & getting them to the table.• Defining what success looks like in a way that is tangible &
linked to business.• Defining objectives to support learning effectiveness
measures (finite, verb, scalable for proficiency levels).
Process, Data, Enablers• Data access & quality for analytics.• Sophistication of requirements v enabler capabilities.• Managing surveys & reporting > timeliness, quality,
defining use cases.• Scalability.
Challenges: Climate & CultureClimate & Culture• Survey response rates (L&D to business).• Training as reward & recognition.• Fear of “why” measures (e.g. manager support
rate).• Learners: Lack accountability for self-development.
“Develop me.” “I was told to come”. • Line Managers: T&L = . Develop people not
include in bonus. “ I don’t have time”. • HRBPs: Operational focus. “Not My Job”, “Too
hard”, “Good training gets applied”, “Why measure?”.
• L&D: Event focused. Self-contained. Service oriented. Uncomfortable to challenge business. “Not what I’m asked for”, “No influence beyond event”, “What am I supposed to do with this?” “What if I’m told to “fix it?””
• ALL: OVERWORKED. OVERWHELMED. CHANGE RESISTANT.
Top 10 Key Learnings WHAT
“as expected?”
!As defined by stakeholders!
WHY“why / why
not?” Act to
achieve / exceed “as expected”
!As defined by stakeholders!
Effective learning effectiveness
measures
1. “What does success look like?” is a hard question to answer! ASK! Don’t ass-u-me.
2. “Fear” of what measures will reveal & accountability for action
3. Required culture change in L&D as much as business
4. Use inspiring facts & stories. Shine a light: “look familiar?”
5. Appetite exists & can be built. Don’t push. Leverage multiple channels to “build the army” of collaborators & early adopters.
6. Engaging stakeholders increases stakeholder engagement & accountability
7. Respectful challenge is well-received, build & helps earn a seat at the table
8. Alignment & behaviour change more valued than ROI
9. Focus on HOW more than WHAT
10. Long process of CHANGE. Be the tortoise.
