SESSION 3
Focus on Effectiveness and Outcome Measures
This session explores effectiveness and outcome measures in detail. In learning, these measures are known as the Four Levels of Kirkpatrick and the Five Levels of Phillips. We examine the difference between the two approaches for Level 4 giving special attention to Phillips’ Level 4 impact which doubles as an outcome measure. Special attention is paid to how to isolate the impact of learning from other factors, which is one of the most contentious in the field. We also share which effectiveness measures are commonly benchmarked.

Selecting Your Measures
This session provides detailed guidance on how to use the Talent Development Reporting principles (TDRp) framework to select the measures that are right for you—which is typically the most difficult part of creating a measurement strategy. We begin this webinar by examining measures for individual programs that are aligned to goals and needs as well as courses that are not aligned. Next, we explore initiatives designed to improve processes and systems, including informal learning and initiatives to improve efficiency/effectiveness measures across all programs. Finally, we discuss measures to aggregate across programs and initiatives.

SESSION 6
The Three TDRp Measurement Reports
In this session we explore the three types of Talent Development Reporting principles (TDRp) reports: program, operations, and summary. These three reports are recommended to manage learning and are essential to running learning like a business. A program report is used to manage an individual program to meet a specific company goal or need. The operations report is used to manage improvement in efficiency and effectiveness measures across all programs. It is also used to manage department initiatives to improve processes and systems. The summary report is intended for senior leaders (CEO, CFO, and governing board). It is a high-level summary demonstrating alignment, impact, and improvements in efficiency and effectiveness.

Public Reporting of Key Human Capital Measures is Coming: Are You Ready?
The US Securities and Exchange Commission will adopt new rules in 2020 mandating public disclosure of material key human capital metrics and initiatives for all publicly traded companies. Given the tight labor market, other organizations will eventually be forced to follow. The recently released standards for human capital reporting by ISO will be used by many as a starting point in deciding what to disclose and as a defense against a shareholder lawsuit for failure to disclose material human capital information.
Join us for this webinar to learn more about both the SEC’s new rules and ISO’s recommendations. Particular attention will be given to the eight ISO recommended measures for learning and development, including the proposed definitions. The webinar will conclude with a recommended strategy to address the new requirements and a list of starter measures for your organization’s consideration.

Implementation of TDRp should be viewed as a project with not only a well-defined project plan, but also a project charter document that defines the scope, objectives, and participants of your TDRp effort. This document ensures that everyone involved in the project is aware of its purpose and objectives. It provides a preliminary delineation of roles and responsibilities, outlines the project objectives, identifies the main stakeholders, and defines the authority of the project manager. It should be updated periodically to reflect changes in project scope, key players and resources available. It provides an ongoing record of the agreements about the project between the project manager, the primary sponsor and key stakeholders
Project Charter Template
This template enables you to communicate expectations to stakeholders and project members and will enable you to better manage the project, the resources and the scope. This is also a required document for TDRp Certification, and this implementation plan template follows the current 3-Gate certification process and will provide you with a starting point for developing your plan.
This template is available in two formats: MS Project and Excel
Update the project start date and the begin date and all other dates will be adjusted accordingly. Feel free to modify elapsed time for specific tasks or to add / delete tasks.
Implementation Plan Template (MS Project)
You will need to manually update the dates in columns E-F to reflect your start and end dates.
Implementation Plan Template (MS Excel)
This document provides the ten steps of implementation and provides a high level summary view of your TDRp implementation plan. Moreover, it enables you to easily monitor progress of your implementation. Use this document when communicating your progress to the TDRp implementation sponsor and key stakeholders.
TDRp Implementation Progress Assessment Worksheet
A best practice in TDRp implementation is the creation of an organization specific measures library reflecting the names, definitions and details of each measure that will appear in statements and/or reports. This is also a required document for TDRp Certification. This template identifies the fields that are recommended for inclusion in your measures library. Feel free to add other fields that are relevant to your organization so that the library can become the ‘single source of truth’ for your measures and their definitions.
Measures Library Template
Application for TDRp Certification:
The CTR Certification document is a pdf document that outlines the end to end process for Certification along with the application for Gate 1. This document has been extracted from the PDF file and is in Word to enable you to easily complete the application for Gate 1. Even those not pursuing TDRp Certification may find this to be a good resource to help ensure all the critical success factors are in place.
