Kirkpatrick® Impact Studies

What You Can Expect From a Kirkpatrick Impact Study

Business and government stakeholders are demanding Kirkpatrick Impact Studies that show training significantly impacts the bottom line.

Kirkpatrick experience and best practice research will provide the evidence you need in the form of a Kirkpatrick® Impact Study.

The worldwide experts in training evaluation will take a deep and honest look at one or two of your current training programs. Practical, comprehensive feedback to improve the content and demonstrate the organizational value will be provided in a ready-to-share presentation.

The presentation is in plain language that both learning and business professionals can understand, and includes both learning and business improvements that can be applied not just to the programs in the study, but future programs as well.

Our training department was directed to demonstrate the value we bring to the business. A Kirkpatrick® Impact Study found hidden value in our efforts and detailed recommendations for  increased business impact in future initiatives.

I applied the recommendations to an important new program. We systematically applied the Kirkpatrick principles in two pilot districts. Results in both districts improved over the next year while the other eight districts continued to deteriorate!

Our stakeholders were convinced of the value of training. It improved our departmental image and my future as a learning professional.

We conducted a Kirkpatrick® Impact Study to determine the impact of our e-learning program on the bottom line. Preliminary findings showed only a modest contribution to overall business results. A review of all quantitative and qualitative data revealed five additional success factors that, along with the training, made a significant impact.

The important lesson we learned is the importance of recognizing all success factors, and partnering with the business to enhance and align all of them for maximum program value.
