This session will provide an overview of major challenges leading organizations face in measuring the value of learning and development.  Today it isn’t enough to just report on how many students completed a course.  Senior management wants metrics linked to business objectives.  Learning professionals need metrics that will help them quickly see trends and act on those trends for continuous improvement. This interactive seminar will provide best practices for learning measurement, and real-world strategies for overcoming the most common challenges.  Some of the key challenges discussed will be:

1.       Linking to shareholder value

2.       The convergence of talent management

3.       Showing business impact

4.       “Scrap” learning / manager support

5.       Performance optimization

6.       Predict and forecast, then follow-up

7.       Actionable metrics

8.       Informal learning measurement

9.       Measurement maturity and sustainability

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

1)       Create understanding of learning analytics and the challenges of measuring business value

2)       Discuss practical and scalable ways to overcome the challenges and prove value

3)       Understand how to leverage better learning and talent measurement standards, processes and technologies for continuous improvement
