Despite high investments in training, many organizations struggle to measure its true impact. This interactive session introduces five essential questions that align training with behavior change and business outcomes. Participants will explore real-world examples, engage in polls, and discuss practical strategies for evaluating Levels 3 and 4 of Kirkpatrick's model. Grounded in recent research, the session addresses common evaluation barriers—such as lack of data use, limited manager involvement, and unclear metrics—and provides actionable tools for overcoming them. 

Attendees will leave with a clear, evidence-based framework to assess training effectiveness, report measurable results, and position L&D as a strategic partner that drives business performance, improves credibility, and secures long-term organizational support.
