Audience

This program is designed for workplace learning and performance professionals who are interested in improving their ability to measure the impact of leadership development programs. It is particularly well-suited to practitioners who have been charged with demonstrating the value of LDP within their organizations. The evaluation techniques demonstrated in the workshop will be applicable in a variety of settings including public, private, military, and not-for-profit organizations.

About this Program

This workshop answers important questions that should guide the evaluation of leadership development programs, such as:

What role does my organization’s culture play in evaluation?
How will I measure the impact of the leadership program once it is implemented?
How can I measure the impact of the leadership program that is already in place?
How will I plan and design the evaluation?
What are the most likely barriers I will face during the evaluation, and how can I overcome them?
What are the valuable outcomes the organization is striving to achieve through leadership development?
What techniques can I employ to ensure a successful evaluation?
