Using ROI to Measure
 the IMPACT of
 Leadership Development

  WHY ROI?

Calculating ROI has been a valuable measurement tool for a long time.  It is not the latest management fad.  In the 1920’s, the Harvard Business Review proclaimed ROI as the tool to measure results. ROI has evolved over the decades with the profession.  And, in very recent years, the application has been expanded to all types of investments, including human capital.
 
Today, the C-Suite expects business results from HR, TD and OD initiatives, including leadership development.  These projects require critical evaluation data, and measuring ROI can be a valuable tool for communicating the positive impact of HR's work on the organization. However, for an ROI process to be feasible, it requires balance between feasibility, simplicity, credibility, and soundness. The ROI Methodology meets these challenges.     
 
 
  HOW ROI and Leadership Development?
 
Many professionals struggle and find it difficult to link leadership development training to specific business metrics and results.  The ROI Methodology has proven it can be done! Companies like Hilton Hotels have had success!
 
ROI doesn't need to be overly complex and require new initiatives.  Measures that you use today, are ideal to show a link from manager behavior to business impact, such as:
  • 360 degree feedback assessment
  • Individual manager and business unit performance
  • Competency-based talent review
  • Employee performance
  • Employee retention/turnover

Additional activities can be easily implemented for the purpose of measuring job behaviors and business impact like questionnaires, focus groups, in-depth interviews and even job observation

 

The credibility of individual and business impact measures on ROI will be dependent upon isolating the effect the training had on any improvement in identified metrics.  The ROI methodology provides methods to isolate the effects of training programs.  

 

 

During this session, you will . . .

  • define ROI Methodology   
  • describe evaluation techniques that can be used to measure leadership development programs
  • actively engage in a real case study to determine the effective application and business results   
  • begin to see the possibilities of how you can apply this to your own organization
