The ROI Academy™ Solution
for
Evaluating your Management Development Programme

For many organisations, evaluating the effectiveness of Management Development training programmes is challenging. Training Managers are unsure about where to start due to the complexity of putting a value on soft skills.

The Evaluation Objectives

You will have an independent evaluation of one of your key programmes that will:

1. Prove value to Board and Senior Management Team within your organisation
2. Provide evidence to justify the investment in future programmes
3. Identify where L&D can make a further contribution to organisational goals through more focussed training
4. Demonstrate how evaluation techniques can be applied elsewhere within the organisation
5. Raise the profile of L&D

The ROI Academy™ Solution

The ROI Academy™ is at the forefront of training evaluation. We have produced a turn-key solution that will enable us to provide answers to what we call the 6 critical questions:

1. What difference is management development making to our organisation?
2. What is the impact of management development on our current goals?
3. How much has training increased management capability and capacity?
4. What is the financial value of building management capability?
5. What opportunity is there to increase management competence without additional cost?
6. How do we reduce costs without reducing impact?

 The ROI Academy™ Process

Our process is based on scientific and business principles. It is a logical 4 step process:

1. we construct a model to predict what the likely benefits will be from your programme
2. we collect data that we can use to test the model
3. we input the data into the model and record the results
4. we produce reports and provide answers to the 6 critical questions

Based on best practice and our experience of the national occupational standards, we have constructed a template model to evaluate management development programmes. Working with you, we will customise the model to fit your particular programme.

Working Together

We will assign an ROI Academy™ consultant to the evaluation project. Whilst much of the work will be done offsite, our consultant will need to spend time onsite working with you to customise our models, and to design and discuss the implementation of data collection.  This will typically be 4 - 5 days, but could be as much as 8 - 10 days for larger programmes.

If you are involved in the project you can expect to enjoy learning some new skills and to develop a more value-adding relationship with other areas of the business.
