He numbered his steps so that step 1 was seeing what learners thought, 2 was that learners could demonstrate a change, 3 was that the change was showing up in the workplace post intervention, and 4 was it impacting business measures.

And in that sense, it’s less about you determining your ROI and more about providing the value the organization expects from you.
