High Impact Evaluation (HIE) is a powerful alternative to traditional models of evaluation. It is a novel, evidence-based approach expressly designed to help you drive impact, not just measure it.

HIE charts a new course for training evaluation that is both predictive and proactive. This proven model gives sales training completely novel tools and strategies to ensure training truly drives performance.

Join us and learn why a growing list of Fortune 500 leaders have adopted HIE’s quality assurance and proactive tools to red flag, analyze, and fix problems through all stages of program development.

Perhaps more importantly, you’ll learn how HIE triggers critical conversations between the learning teams and senior leadership. Powerful tools like Impact Mapping, for example, help all stakeholders cut through the fog of metrics to create a clear line of sight from the training, to job performance, and, ultimately, bottom-line results.

Join Dr. Lynette Gillis and Allan Bailey and discover some breakthrough thinking designed to help you advance your traditional skillsets and ensure your training stays on track to deliver maximum performance and maximum impact. High Impact Evaluation is based on leading-edge scholarship and is the culmination of an unprecedented, half-decade field-level research collaboration with the Government of Canada.

In this session learn… 

• The six best leading indicators for predicting training transfer 
• How to avoid ‘training scrap’—that 45% of all instruction that is never applied to the job
• How to exploit the sweet spot to maximize the transfer of training and boost job performance
