Best practice organizations allocate 4-5% of the learning budget for measurement and evaluation.

Yet, most L&D teams invest just one percent or less of their budgets to measurement and evaluation—and most of that investment is in tracking who is in the program (Level 0), reaction to learning (Level 1), and learning (Level 2). Very little data is captured for application (Level 3), impact (Level 4), and ROI (Level 5). This is not good news.

With this backdrop, it should come as no surprise that learning and development continues to be regarded as a cost and not an investment. However, the L&D function can be a business contributor and, in many organizations, a business driver.

This session will explore the current status of measurement and evaluation globally, and what can be done (and is being done) to dramatically change the view, perception, and success of learning and development.

After attending this session, participants should be able to:

1. Describe the need for more investment in measurement and evaluation
2. Identify the levels of outcomes needed for top executives
3. Design learning and development to deliver business value
4. Measure learning and development at the impact and ROI levels

Presenter:  Jack Phillips, (LinkedIn profile) Ph.D. is co-founder and chairman of ROI Institute, Inc & developer of the ROI Methodology, the most applied approach to demonstrating value of programs, projects, and initiatives. With  experience in the aerospace, textile, metals, construction materials, and banking industries, Jack served as training and development manager, as Sr human resource officer, as president of a regional bank, and a management professor at a major state university.

We’re constantly being told that AI will revolutionize the way we all work and what we do, but can you imagine ever not using PowerPoint?

It just feels like it’s too embedded into everything to be cast aside. Fortunately, Microsoft, and others, are also incorporating AI tools into PowerPoint, allowing people to benefit from the technological leaps, while still using familiar tools.

The anticipated launch of Microsoft Copilot will be a huge boost to storytelling, design, and visualization for many – enabling them to create better presentations much more quickly and easily.

It’s easily the most exciting thing to happen to PowerPoint, and the entire Office suite, since it was first launched 30 years ago.

But there are other, more subtle, but equally useful AI tools that help you in all sorts of ways. From creating custom graphics and layouts to finding suitable content to incorporating web cam feeds into your slides, to automatic subtitles and translations of your presentation – as you deliver it, live.

Frankly, given that this outline is being written months ahead of the session being delivered, who knows what else will happen in that time. Certainly, plenty to cover that will be highly relevant to people in an L&D environment who probably dream in PowerPoint.

1. Understand the range of AI tools available to support your presentation.
2. Create stunning presentations quickly and easily using PowerPoint and AI.
3. Share your presentation stories with your audience in an engaging and effective way.
