Join us for what may be one of the most valuable workshops that L&D professionals can and should experience as part of their career journey. We are honored to have Patti Phillips, CEO of the ROI Institute and recipient of many talent development awards, as our presenter.

This highly practical 5-hour workshop provides L&D professionals with the tools needed to quantitatively and qualitatively link learning to measurable outcomes. You'll move beyond smile sheets to focus on demonstrating actual impact and ROI, following the Phillips Five-Level Framework and ROI Methodology. This workshop covers concepts critical to demonstrating value, like:
 

  1. Aligning L&D programs/initiatives with organizational KPIs.
  2. Isolating the effects of L&D programs on business measures like turnover rate, employee engagement scores, customer satisfaction, revenue impact, and leadership pipeline strength.
  3. Calculating Return on Investment (ROI) for L&D initiatives.
  4. Creating a compelling data story to communicate L&D’s impact to stakeholders.

 
While this workshop is an introduction to the ROI Methodology, you will leave with tools and resources to help you demonstrate value in terms that matter most.

Note: The ROI Methodology was adopted by ATD Education as the methodology of choice for its Evaluating Learning Impact and Measuring Return on Investment Certificate programs. It is documented in over 100 books including more than 50 ATD publications.
