Does the program connect to the business? Does it drive business? If so, how much and how do you know? These are all questions asked of today’s talent development program owners.
This session will explore how business alignment is achievable at the beginning of a talent development program by connecting the program to a specific business measure and ensuring that the focus remains through the program with specific impact objectives. This session will also describe how to collect impact data and isolate program effects from other factors to prove that business alignment has occurred. Using examples, case studies, and exercises, this session will emphasize the need for business alignment for talent development programs.

Q&A from the webinar.
Question: Is it always possible to isolate the effects of my program from other factors?
Answer: Yes, ma’am, it is. Worst-case, your use estimation process. Ideal case, you set up an experiment. What we’re finding is that, and thank goodness for technology and focusing on analytics, we’re becoming more comfortable with experimental experimentation. It’s part of design thinking. So we’re seeing an uptick in the use of control group that’s ideal. But if you can’t, and you can’t use train line analysis or some kind of modeling, then yes, you can isolate the effect of the program using estimates.
Question: How do you measure the impact of a project?
Answer: So, we use project program initiative, it’s the same way because your project is intended to do something, you know, why the project at all? But a program, a training program, is nothing but a project. That’s all it is, is just call it a training program. So you do it the same way. You get started out with the why. Why are we doing this project?
