Properly designed and applied training assessments should clearly answer two key questions:

  • What is holding us back?
  • Where should we focus?
Training assessments should also be customized to each unique environment, be outcome-based (not opinion-based), and compare skills to actual performance to guide strategies.

  • There are too many variables.
  • It is too expensive.
  • No one else is doing it.
All three arguments are not valid. Training measurement can be efficient, accurate, and cost effective.
