Quotes:
“We have tools that measure outcomes and then we have actual outcomes, and those two aren’t necessarily related.”
“For some [L&D] goals, you’re going to be very specific with how you’re trying to move performance . . . that’s where you have to have a hypothesis [about the ROI].”Resources: L&D Detective)**Contact:**Kevin's LinkedIn)David's LinkedIn)Dwight's LinkedIn)Podcast Manager: Karissa Harris)****Email us!)****Production by Affogato Media)
