In brief:

A well-embedded learning and development strategy is a core driver of organisational success through its power to unlock an organisation's capability and performance. Determining the strategy that will make the difference requires real evaluation and assessment of impact. Only through such evaluation and understanding can you develop a learning programme that is steered in the right direction to achieve the desired business goals.

In the current challenging climate, the pressure is on to demonstrate results and prove added value. Effectiveness can be measured in a number of ways, yet most organisations are not equipped to measure ROI effectively. Evaluation must become an integral element of a learning strategy. Making the case for investment in learning and proving worth through analysing, assessing and evaluating how investment in people is making a difference is key to this.

JSB’s Evaluating the Impact of Learning and Development seminar will enable you to evaluate both the effectiveness of your learning interventions and determine a development strategy of real strategic worth.

This event is CPD accredited.
