Dashe & Thomson

I have included Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation in every proposal I have ever written, and I wanted to hear from Kirkpatrick himself regarding his take on the current state of evaluation and whether his four levels are still viable. Kirkpatrick is now saying that we need to start with Level 4.

Donald Kirkpatrick is one of those few people that have achieved eternity by virtue of their contribution. A professor emeritus at University of Wisconsin and the creator of the Kirkpatrick Four-level Evaluation Model , Dr. Kirkpatrick passed away on May 9, 2014 at the age of 90. May his soul rest in peace.

Recent research by ASTD and REED Learning indicates that the top skills desired by Learning & Development departments are measuring and evaluating training. Kirkpatrick calls this Return on Expectations, or ROE. Deliver the learning and begin formal evaluating with Level 1: Reaction and Level 2: Learning.

In the fifty years since, his thoughts (Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results) have gone on to evolve into the legendary Kirkpatrick’s Four Level Evaluation Model and become the basis on which learning & development departments can show the value of training to the business.

The aim of the session aim was to 'present a fresh perspective on evaluation', based on work carried out for the CIPD by the University of Portsmouth. It's worth checking first of all whether Kirkpatrick's model is still useful for evaluating the top-down stuff. Surely what's needed is a combination of the two. I think it does.
