Description

There are a number ideologies and beliefs on how to best measure the impact of training.  As a result, it can be difficult to distinguish myths from best practices.  During this webinar, our prominent measurement experts will provide “practitioner-focused” solutions for the most common misconceptions about measuring business impact. The core issues to be addressed will include:

  • The facts about a “Level 1 Survey”
  • The accuracy around Self-Report data
  • The pitfall of customizing evaluation questions
  • The need for statistical significance when measuring impact
  • The decision to measure after the training program has been launched

 

Learning Objectives:

   1. Gain insight into the 5 most common myths and why the industry believes them
   2. Obtain practical tips and tricks on how to overcome each myth
   3. Discuss ways to build your evaluation plan so you don’t fall victim to these challenges
