"The Urgent Need to Meet the Needs of Business" -
What do Companies Need to Do to Demonstrate Value to Business? Please join us for this outstanding Professional Development Event! In 1959, Don Kirkpatrick first published his now world-wide industry standard four levels of evaluation – reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Unfortunately, over the fifty years since, our industry has only gotten half of them right – Levels 1 and 2. Jim Kirkpatrick has written a book coming out soon called Training on Trial that offers words of warning that our "free pass" from business leaders as being of value to the business is over. What are the charges against us? That our costs exceed our value. We must now not only create value to the business, but demonstrate that value. Join Jim and some of your practitioner colleagues as they show you that not only is our very industry in jeopardy because of our inaction, but that the opportunity has never been greater, as business leaders and external clients around the country and beyond are looking for answers. We believe we have some of them, and we look forward to sharing them with you in this unique venue! This event will be an interactive session with Jim Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., Jim Hashman, Division Director, Sales Learning & Development, Comcast University, and Tali Ramos, Manager, Instructional Design, Toys "R" Us.
