Case Studies – Return on Investment
It can be challenging to measure specific financial ROI when it comes to management, leadership, wellbeing and interpersonal skills courses/coaching.
Whilst we can sometimes demonstrate a direct link to profit or savings, we work on the principle that effective learning & development is a ‘cost prevention’. For example, consider the cost of an ineffective manager when it comes to demotivating staff and high staff turnover. With effective training and coaching, that manager is now capable of motivating and maintaining their staff. This would be a ‘cost prevention’.
Our approach to measurement however, is to utilise our Imaginarium ROI Model. Wherever possible, we collaborate with our partners to ask the ‘Three ROI Questions’. As well as the immediate post course review (which tells us how the course was received and participants’ learning/applications), we aim for a longer-term/bigger picture review, seeking the perceived benefits for the individual, their team/colleagues and the organisation. This review also helps to remind people of the course material.
