The ATD Greater Boston Chapter Special Interest Group on Learning Measurement Presents:
What Caused It? Techniques to Isolate the Effects of Your Program
with Patti Phillips, Ph.D., CPLP
January 27, 2021
2:00 PM to 3:15 PM
VIRTUAL EVENT - Link in registration email
Are your learning programs producing business results? How can you demonstrate results to key stakeholders?
Most talent development programs are linked to business measures. While business measures may improve after a program is implemented, unless evaluators take steps to isolate the effects of the project on that improvement, they have no credible claim to the improvement–leaving stakeholders to wonder “What caused it?”
Learn techniques to the effects of talent development programs. Help business partners better allocate resources to different programs. Case studies will demonstrate each technique. Participants will calculate the improvement in business measures as described in the case studies.
Objectives
- Describe the importance of isolating the effects of programs.
- Apply at least three techniques to isolate the effects of programs.
- Determine when to use each of the techniques covered in this session.
Tools, templates, case studies, job aids, and books are provided to participants who attend and complete the interactive session.
