Despite numerous books, articles, and webinars over the last 25 years, many learning and development (L&D) practitioners still struggle with measurement and reporting for their programs. Common questions practitioners have include “What should I measure?” “How do I measure?” and “What do I do with the data once I have it?” These questions are not surprising given the 100+ measures available for L&D and the historical lack of a framework to provide guidance.
Dave Vance, author of Measurement Demystified and former CLO for Caterpillar, will share a simple framework called Talent Development Reporting Principles (TDRP), which provides a common language for the profession as well as guidance on selecting, using, and reporting measures. In essence, TDRP does for L&D what the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) does for the field of accounting.
The framework and guidance provided by TDRP make it easy to select the right measures for both your L&D programs and for the L&D department as a whole. The framework also provides guidance on how to share the data in the most appropriate report format. All the recommended measures and reports can be found in the new ISO standard on L&D metrics, which is based on TDRP.
Bottom line, you will leave the webinar with a simple framework to make measurement and reporting for L&D much easier to understand and implement.
