Clark Quinn

DECEMBER 1, 2020

So I saw a twitter thread pointing to an argument about how ROI is dead. Back to my usual prose, as I need visual support for this. ;). So, in the report, they indicated that the respondents indicated the demonstrated impact of training in these ways: General training output data. Learner satisfaction with training.

Talking eLearning ROI shouldn’t be an intimidating process. If you want to sell eLearning ROI for your grand vision, you need to support your pitch with sensible projections and multi-year estimates to put the financial decision makers at ease. Perform a SWOT Analysis. Perform a Market Analysis.

Some companies will use “Level 2: Learning” to measure whether the learners have mastered the training course content. The focus is on the training event itself and the follow-up to that event. Company executives are typically interested in the bottom line, not how well their employees apply the learning from a training class.

2012 saw the re-emergence of ‘Mobile learning’ or ‘mLearning’ as “new” (ok, not really new) buzzwords in L&D and Training circles around the world. Because it is easily related to immediate business needs and also has a more quantifiable ROI. But largely in the wrong context! So let me lay out my argument for why I believe this!

He derived his model as an approach to determine the impact of an intervention on organizational performance. He felt that you worked backward from the change you needed, to determine whether the workplace performance was changing, as then to see if that could be attributed to the training, and ultimately to the learner.

When I speak with my peers in the field of organizational learning and performance, either in person or virtually, I’m always amazed at the amount of time we spend discussing, debating, and examining the language of our profession. The same idea applies to organizational learning and performance; don’t focus too much on the labels.

While acknowledging that Kirkpatrick's four levels of evaluation had proved valuable over more than thirty years in helping to measure instructor-led, content-based 'training' interventions, Sloman felt that a new approach was necessary to support a more self-directed, work-based 'learning' process.
