Connecting Learning Investment to Business Results

Training budgets are often the first line questioned when results are unclear. This programme shows delegates how to tie every learning intervention to a measurable business priority, so that development spend can be defended and expanded. Delegates leave able to translate strategic goals into a focused learning plan.

What you will be able to do

  • Translate organisational priorities into clear learning outcomes.
  • Build a line of sight from each course to a business result.
  • Select learning methods that fit the goal and the budget.
  • Set indicators that show the value of training to leaders.
  • Prioritise interventions when resources are limited.
  • Present a business case that wins funding for development.
