Want More Value from Evaluation? AIM to Answer Two Questions

TK2020 Event: Thurs, February 6, 9:00AM – 10:00AM
While almost all learning is evaluated, less than half of organizations report that evaluation helps meet their learning and business goals. Data create no value. People acting on meaningful data within the L&D process create value. The Alignment and Impact Model (AIM) focuses evaluation on helping all stakeholders create value.

Examples demonstrate the fundamentals of AIM and how it can be implemented and used.
