Measuring Business Impact With Sun, US Bank, and Chrysler
When: Thursday, February 7th, 2008
Measuring business impact is one of the top priorities of human resources leaders according to recent studies (83% of those surveyed by NelsonHall), but less than 10% actually do it (5%: Bersin study). Some of the reasons given for the mismatch between making business impact measurement a priority and actually measuring it are revealed in an eLearning Guild survey. They include the following:
- More important things to do
- No budget
- Lack of expertise
Sun Microsystems, US Bank , Chrysler, Ecolab and other companies work with Bellevue University's Human Capital Lab to understnad business impact. This seminar will present the WHY and HOW of these and other programs that "walk the talk" in measuring the business impact of learning and development.
