A few years ago, I had a ‘debate’ with Will Thalheimer about the Kirkpatrick model (you can read it here ). In the debate, I was lauding how Kirkpatrick starts with the biz problem, and works backwards. And should he have numbered them in reverse, which Kirkpatrick admitted might’ve been a better idea?

In early 2012, the MTA had a problem — too many of its recently trained bus drivers were involved in accidents. That summer, Michael Wiedecker, a 25-year veteran of the MTA, was appointed director of operations training, which meant this became his problem to solve. Implementing the Kirkpatrick Model.

When you first turned your thoughts to evaluating training, it’s odds-on that a colleague or consultant recommended you to have a look at the Kirkpatrick model. There is a commonly held misconception that you need to do Kirkpatrick Level 1 first and then Level 2 etc. Levels are not steps. All the levels co-exist independently.

While the Kirkpatrick taxonomy is something of a sacred cow in training circles—and much credit goes to Donald Kirkpatrick for being the first to attempt to apply intentional evaluation to workplace training efforts—it is not the only approach.

There are people looking at applying the Kirkpatrick model, there are people measuring the use of social learning tools, and there are people talking about something similar to Brinkerhoff’s Success Case Method.

L&D departments can embrace the new and constantly developing digital technologies to solve — or at least better respond to — fundamental problems of training. Since most learning management systems and websites have a responsive design, the “which device I use for learning” is becoming less and less a problem. Final thoughts.

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. Not that ROI is in any way a red herring.

In a recent conversation, we were talking about the Kirkpatrick model, and a colleague had an interesting perspective that hadn’t really struck me overtly. So, there’s a lot of debate about the Kirkpatrick model, whether it helps or hinders the movement towards good learning. The goal is to start with the end in mind.

I was defending Kirkpatrick’s levels the other day, and after being excoriated by my ITA colleagues, I realized there was not only a discrepancy between principle and practice, but between my interpretation and as it’s espoused. Courses are fine when you’ve determined that a skill gap is the problem.
