Description

Last week on The Mindtools L&D Podcast, L&D Detective Kevin M Yates joined Ross D and Dr Anna to talk about isolating the impact of training at work. When listening back, Ross G took umbrage at some of the claims made by his Mindtools colleagues and so, this week, we re-litigate!

We discuss:

  • Are control groups really worth it?
  • How else can you measure impact?
  • Why Dr Anna thinks learning NEVER leads (directly) to business impact

To find out how Mindtools can help you measure the business impact of your learning, despite what Dr Anna says, mindtools.com/services/analyst-insights

Ross D also discussed Dr Will Thalheimer's LTEM model.

In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D recommended the Hard Fork podcast.
