To get stakeholder buy-in for our performance improvement initiatives, we need to know enough about finance to speak knowledgeably about our function’s impact on the numbers. This Infoline will help you understand the four major areas of finance (revenue, assets, expenses, and liabilities); financial reporting; how to measure profitability; and how to apply financial measures to training and performance improvement programs.
Proving that your training programs are effective is necessary for justifying costs, making improvements, and establishing and maintaining adequate budgets. “Demystifying Measurement and Evaluation” will show you how to determine business-driven objectives, devise practical ways to collect data, plan for measurement and evaluation, analyze data quickly, and accurately present data—in a way that is practical and accessible.
This Infoline provides guidance for writing well-written multiple-choice questions and how to avoid the most common mistakes.
