The real ROI – How business leaders evaluate learning investments

Following the learning process itself, training practitioners need to demonstrate that their efforts deliver business value. Do you sometimes fear the moment when business leaders question how your work delivers value to the company?

The fact is that a program's apparent return on investment (ROI) can be affected by how your leaders conduct an ROI evaluation.

At our upcoming expert webinar, we'll discuss how to show your training initiative's value using fundamental business and financial rules that leaders learn and apply in an operational context.

In this session, you'll learn:

• How business leaders actually evaluate the value of training
• How a training expense differs from a learning investment and why the two are valued differently
• How operational leaders see training
• How tangible learning investments, such as learning technologies, impact the financial results of the initiative
• How to evaluate a learning initiative's financial impact
• How to identify a learning initiative's qualitative expectations

You will see that operational leaders value learning and this is not solely dependent on the financial outcomes, as many learning practitioners continue to believe.
