SESSION DESCRIPTION

In this interactive discussion, CEO of DevelopIntelligence Kelby Zorgdrager will share real-world strategies and data from some of the largest companies in the U.S.: Salesforce, Eventbrite, VMware and Autodesk.  Come learn about each company’s proven methods for measuring the impact of training.

As an attendee you will have the opportunity to engage with and ask questions about current training program methodologies in order to determine your company’s return on investment (ROI) on training.

Kelby will be sharing data on measuring the impact of training on organizational goal attainment, impact on strategic initiatives, and increased revenue.  Most of our L&D models for clients include focusing on key pillars of attrition, retention, cost per employee, and pace of technology adoption.  HR professionals will learn how to compile their data, create their own benchmarks, and return an L&D maturity model to help guide business growth.
