2. Session Description:
On one hand, we say we honor evaluation, that we are eager for evidence and
data. On the other hand, most reported practice is far from enthusiastic
about metrics. Today’s economic climate has increased accountability in
organizations and required training and performance professionals to look
in a data-driven way at their influence. At the same time, technology-
delivered training, learning management systems and a host of tools has
increased possibilities for data collection. Are organizations using these
tools? And if so, to what ends?
This session will tour evaluation promises, practices and barriers and
provide an opportunity for participants to examine their efforts in light of
the possibilities. How do you compare to the reported efforts of our
respondents? How can we all do better?
