Measuring Return on Investment Certificate

Course Info

Show the value of talent development initiatives using the measures that matter to your leaders and executives. To remain relevant, you must know how to answer two questions before they are asked. First, how do you know the impact you are claiming is due to your initiative and not something else? The second is, how do you know the initiative was a good investment of resources? This course will show you how to answer both questions using the language and measures leaders expect and respect. Beyond addressing just training programs, you’ll learn to answer these questions for talent development, organization development, human resources, technology, change, or quality solutions.

During this certificate program, you will learn to demonstrate and communicate with credibility the impact and ROI of your initiatives using the globally recognized ROI Methodology, developed by the ROI Institute, Inc. The ROI Methodology offers a comprehensive, systematic approach to demonstrating value for money invested in all programs, projects, and initiatives. Learn and practice techniques to isolate the direct effects of your programs to improve business measures, convert impact measures to money, identify important intangibles, and calculate ROI. Uncover how to use this data to communicate the need for and make better decisions about talent development investments to improve organization performance.

As a participant of this course, you will get a free e-book, ROI Basics, 2nd edition.

Research-Backed Content: This certificate for consulting is based on the Evaluating Impact Capability of the Talent Development Capability Model™. The concepts covered are reflected in the TDBok™ Guide, Talent Development Body of Knowledge, second edition, the definitive resource for the talent development profession.
