Pathways Training and eLearning Inc. Contribute to White Paper on How to Quantify the ROI of Learnin
I was excited to be asked to be contributor and to assist with the development of a white paper entitled How to Quantify the ROI of Learning in Your Organization. This paper developed in conjunction with the eLearning Guild and Adobe and a number of talent leading learning executives, focuses on the question that challenges many learning professionals which is, how do I actually measure the Return on Investment (ROI) of my learning initiative.
This white page paper focuses on the RO of learning.

It represents different things to different organizations. and is often difficult to measure and quantify. However, we can all agree that ROI is important. A firm grasp of this critical KPI can aid L&D leaders who are trying to secure funding or gain the attention of the C-suite.
Many Canadian learning leaders are unsure if measuring the ROI of their learning and implementing sustainment learning activities is actually worth the additional cost and effort (I was in two separate sales presentations this week as Pathways Training and eLearning has been short-listed in RFPs for two very large eLearning projects.

I think many learning executives know it is important, but struggle with the question of is the additional time and effort worth it to measure the ROI of their learning initatives.
