The Training Evaluation
Pocketbook
How successful is your training? What
impact has it made? The Training Evaluation Pocketbook
explains – succinctly, visually and with abundant informative
examples – how to measure your training
results.
Authors Paul Donovan of the Irish Management
Institute and John Townsend of the Master Trainer Institute have,
following their successful collaboration on The Facilitator’s
Pocketbook, teamed up once again to produce what is set to become
another pocketbook classic.
In order to ‘demystify’ the
process of evaluating training events, the pocketbook identifies
nine possible outcomes to measure:
reaction to training, satisfaction with
the way training was organised, knowledge acquisition, skills
improvement, attitude shift, behaviour change, organisational
results, return on investment and psychological capital.
The Training Needs
Analysis Pocketbook
Shockingly, 90% of all training is a
waste of time according to one US investigation, either because the
training is not transferred into the workplace, or the training
design/delivery is poor or the participants are unable/unwilling to
learn.
The Training Needs Analysis Pocketbook will
ensure that your people development solutions are tied to the
organisation’s strategic plans and objectives. The authors’ aim is
to simplify TNA and to demonstrate that it can be strategic,
rewarding, career-enhancing and, even, fun!
The book is
divided into three sections:
- The Training Needs Investigation: an easy-to-follow process
which will take you through all the steps of a professional
TNA.
- The 10 Point Training Plan: the document, spreadsheet or wall
chart where you can record all your notes from the Training Needs
Investigation and plan for each training course or
event.
- The Tool Box: to help you do a great job at every step of the
TNA process.
