Many public and private sector organizations need a cost-effective, engaging way to measure complex competencies such as conflict management, team building, and problem solving skills. Accurate, reliable information about these competencies can be used to evaluate the organization’s current leadership bench strength, provide diagnostic assessments for developmental purposes, or provide key information on which to base hiring and promotion decisions.

Training Evaluation: A Next Generation Model

Article Image

HumRRO recently created an innovative evaluation methodology that capitalizes on the best aspects of two traditional training evaluation approaches: Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels and The Phillips ROI Methodology. Our new model – Return on Learning Experience (ROLE) – is a dynamic approach that accommodates individual, work unit, and organizational outcomes and takes into account both capacity building and continuous improvement over time. This methodology was applied in a recent effort to evaluate a large-scale leadership development program (LDP).

Before evaluating training, HumRRO often conducts an assessment of the extent to which training follows principles of adult learning and instructional systems design. If the standards of adult learning and instructional systems design (ISD) have not been met, HumRRO makes recommendations and is happy to work with clients to improve the quality of the training design.

In fact, the American population now is older than it has ever been! In 1998, persons over the age of 65 numbered 34.3 million and older adults comprised 12.7% of the US population. By 2030, the population of older adults will increase to 70 million, comprising about 20% of the total population (Administration on Aging, 1999).

Analysis

No development effort should proceed in the absence of clearly defined goals and constraints (e.g., manpower, resources). In many projects this front-end analysis process takes the form of a needs assessment which can focus on one or all of the relevant dimensions; organizational, occupational, or individual.
