Unlock the Future of Learning Evaluation

Join us for an exclusive webinar introducing the High Impact Evaluation (HIE) methodology—a breakthrough approach that is transforming how organizations measure, maximize, and demonstrate the value of their learning and development investments.

For decades, traditional evaluation models have offered limited guidance, relying on outdated “smile sheets” and reactive metrics that fail to drive real improvement. High Impact Evaluation, developed by internationally recognized experts Dr. Lynette Gillis and Allan Bailey of the Centre for Learning Impact (Canada), marks a new era in training evaluation. This evidence-based, predictive, and proactive model empowers organizations to:

  • Align training with business strategy and outcomes through Business Impact Mapping
  • Detect risks early with field-tested indicators and “early warning radar”
  • Diagnose root causes of performance gaps using advanced diagnostic tools
  • Implement targeted solutions from a curated catalog of best practices
  • Engage leadership with executive-friendly dashboards and actionable insights

Adopted by leading organizations worldwide—including Harvard Business Publishing, Coca-Cola, Emirates Airline, MIT, Boeing, Capital One, and over 26 Canadian federal departments—HIE is the gold standard for driving strategy, impact, and continuous improvement in learning.

Who Should Attend? This session is ideal for learning and development professionals, HR leaders, training managers, and anyone seeking to ensure their learning programs deliver measurable business value.

Competency Framework: Adult Learning Principles, Learning and Development Practice, Evaluation, Instructional Design, Assessment, Coaching, Facilitation and Social Learning

Session Theme and Audience: In My Kete and Learning Leaders
