Calculating the ROI of Learning | February 2026 Expert Insights Webinar

Calculating the ROI of Learning

Date and Time:

February 12, 2026

12-1 pm

Last Day to Register: February 10, 2026

Presenter: Christine Moore

The goal isn’t just to calculate ROI, but to create programs that deliver sustainable value while developing people.

The Kirkpatrick Model, developed by Dr. Donald Kirkpatrick in 1959, remains the gold standard for training evaluation—yet there is a troubling implementation gap that undermines the very purpose of measurement. The lowest level of Kirpatrick’s model is the easiest to implement; going up the levels takes increasingly more effort, but also yields the most valuable insights.

This session will provide a systematic, conservative approach to measuring training value.

*All attendees will receive a link to a robust ROI calculator and a detailed guide.

 

Take-aways:

This session will provide a systematic, conservative approach to measuring training value.  By understanding its assumptions and following best practices, you can:

  • Build compelling business cases for experiential learning.
  • Make data-driven decisions about training investments.
  • Demonstrate accountability to stakeholders.
  • Continuously improve program effectiveness.

Audience: ALL

  • Managers, team leaders, and HR professionals
  • Organizations interested in enhancing workplace culture and collaboration

*By registering for this webinar, I am agreeing to being added to the IPD monthly e-newsletter list.

The Change Transition: It’s a Human Thing | August 2025 Expert Insights Webinar

The Change Transition: It’s a Human Thing

Past Expert Insights Webinar

The mantra “Change is Hard” is insufficient. 

Change and the transition process that creates change is human. 

And humans are unique and messy.  While change management provides valuable tools to organizational leaders, the fact is that each human experiences each change in a different way and at a different pace.  That is why organizational change occurs one person at a time.  This Expert Insights session will present a Transition Process theory.

Take-aways:
  • Learn a research-supported transition process
  • Understand why some change is hard, and some change is easy
  • Appreciate the transition process that others are experiencing

Audience: ALL

  • Managers, team leaders, and HR professionals
  • Mentors and mentees from all generations
  • Organizations interested in enhancing workplace culture and collaboration
  • Employees seeking career development opportunities

Business Architecture 201: Part 1 – Business-Object Oriented Capabilities and their Relationship to Information | Past Expert Insights Webinar

Business Architecture 201: Session 1

Watch Video Here

This session will focus on business capabilities and their role and position in the larger business architecture framework.  It will explain how capabilities can be used as building blocks to achieve the outcomes an organization strives to define and execute and demonstrate how capabilities use and modify information with an example drawn from ongoing work to transform Minnesota’s human service delivery systems.

About the Series:

This series will explore the core business architecture domains that DHS is leveraging to integrate service delivery and develop an enterprise portfolio of products.   The series will be especially helpful to the public sector and others whose product is a service, rather than a tangible item for purchase.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER:

Katherine (Kit) Shelton from the Department of Human Services (DHS) for the State of Minnesota is applying business architecture to help DHS transform service delivery by coordinating distributed work to integrate services and transition to a product operating model. She and two other Enterprise Business Architects in the Agency Effectiveness Administration lead a cross-functional team of business experts from all over the department to apply shared principles and common standards across business units to integrate multiple perspectives into a single enterprise-wide business framework.
