The question · Return on Investment

How do we assess whether development actually worked?

In this section

Why it's hard
Development returns show up in behaviors as perceived by others, over time - data almost no organization collects.
Common mistakes
Measuring development with satisfaction surveys and hours delivered, instead of observed change.
The construct to measure
Reputation

Current competencies as experienced and perceived by managers, peers, direct reports and other stakeholders.

Output & deliverables
The perceived behavioral delta on target behaviors and an aggregate view of program returns.
