    The ATD Greater Boston Chapter Special Interest Group on Learning Measurement Presents:

    Measurement Demystified: A Simple Framework for Measurement and Reporting

    with David Vance, Ph.D.

    June 2, 2023

    2:00 PM to 3:15 PM

    VIRTUAL EVENT - Link in registration email

    With over 200 measures it is no wonder people are still confused about what to measure and what to do with the measures once they have them. Join this webinar to learn about a simple but comprehensive framework to classify, define, select and report the measures that are right for your organization. In use for over 10 years now and incorporated into the new ISO standard for L&D metrics, the Talent Development Reporting Principles (TDRP) framework provides a holistic approach to measurement and reporting, starting with the reasons to measure and ending with selection of the appropriate report to share the data.

    About the Speaker

    David Vance is a major thought leader on measuring and reporting talent development initiatives. He was the founder of the Center for Talent Reporting (TDRp), a nonprofit, membership-based organization dedicated to the creation and implementation of standards for human capital measurement, reporting and management. He is the former President of Caterpillar University, which he founded in 2001. Prior to this position, Dave was Chief Economist and Head of the Business Intelligence Group at Caterpillar Inc. with responsibility for economic outlooks, sales forecasts, market research, competitive analysis and business information systems.

    Dave was named 2006 Chief Learning Officer (CLO) of the Year by Chief Learning Officer magazine. Caterpillar was ranked number one in the 2005 ASTD Best Awards and was named Best Overall Corporate University in 2004 by both Corporate University Xchange and the International Quality and Productivity Center.

Increase the credibility and value of your learning and development programs through measurement and evaluation!

Why Start a Measurement SIG?

Measuring and evaluating the results of learning have long been key competencies for Learning and Development professionals, which enables us to demonstrate business value and continuously improve processes for enhancing performance and results. L&D leaders have more recently embraced the emerging field of “Learning Analytics” to increase their ability to track and increase effectiveness in a dynamic business environment, using the latest data sources and analytical tools.

While L&D Leaders often consider investing in Learning Analytics a high priority, they also are often limited in their abilities to gather, aggregate and analyze information. Frequently, these challenges lead to making decisions based on intuition rather than robust data and rigorous analysis.

The Greater Boston ATD Chapter has a significant opportunity to address this need and to add value to its members, their businesses and to the L&D field, by launching a Learning Analytics Special Interest Group.
