Chain of Evidence Minimize
How to show the value of training is one of the most common questions the Kirkpatricks receive, and for good reason. If training professionals cannot show the value of their efforts, they are not very "professional" in the eyes of their stakeholders, and they put their existence at risk. 

Creating a chain of evidence can help you to link the results achieved at each level in order to establish the big picture outcome. A chain of evidence shows the organizational value of the entire business partnership effort through quantitative and qualitative data that sequentially connect the four levels and show the ultimate contribution of learning and reinforcement to the business.

As an example, we provide here the Kirkpatrick Partners chain of evidence, which shows the value that over 2000 Kirkpatrick certified professionals are bringing to their organizations by applying what they learn in the Kirkpatrick Four Levels® Evaluation Certification Program.

Kirkpatrick Partners is a provider of training evaluation and business partnership training, products, consulting and impact studies. Our work is based on the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model created by Donald L. Kirkpatrick in 1954 as part of his PhD dissertation on the evaluation of the effectiveness of training for supervisors. It is expanded by the Kirkpatrick Business Partnership Model and Kirkpatrick Foundational Principles.

Instead of training ROI, we focus on training return on expectations (ROE). This is a more holistic measurement of all of the benefits realized from a program or initiative, both qualitative and quantitative. We offer courses and workshops on training evaluation and business partnership that equip training professionals to create, demonstrate and measure the business results and value their training yields or supports.

Donald (Don), James (Jim), and Wendy Kirkpatrick are pleased to be united as Kirkpatrick Partners. Whether you want to earn your Kirkpatrick certification or simply create more value in your organization, we are here to help. Our programs are valuable whether you are a corporate employee, member of government or an independent consultant.

The Kirkpatricks are the authors of nine books, including Evaluating Training Programs, Implementing the Four Levels, Transferring Learning to Results, Kirkpatrick Then and Now, Training on Trial, and The Brunei Window Washer: Bringing Business Partnership to Life.
