Session Overview

In this session you will learn how to:

• Reflect on the risks and realities that exist in your business when it comes to evaluating program impact
• Choose a strategy to apply with your team or your work

Just as investors can have their financial plans derailed by fear, and how scientific conclusions can be weakened by hastiness, good L&D evaluation has its own guiding emotions and pitfalls. The best intentions, industry models, and data collections tools can only take us so far, as we encounter the realities of work: behaviors, incentives, and culture.

To protect ourselves from shortcomings like pride, bias, and even just fatigue, we should establish guardrails for our evaluation strategies. This can be done by carefully observing our audiences and work context, and by providing clear expectations, establishing operational discipline, and most importantly, just having an open mind.

Come hear how an instructional designer, straight out of school, tested out different approaches over 8 years on the same team, and leave with ideas for fortifying your evaluation strategies to protect your team's most valuable insights.

This session is for:

• L&D people frustrated when evaluation best practices don't seem to work in the context of their business
• L&D people frustrated when they know their evaluation strategy works well, but it goes under appreciated
