Matt will present "𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁," a compelling session that challenges the way organizations measure learning success.

While many L&D professionals face increasing pressure to demonstrate value, traditional metrics often fail to capture the real behavioral and cultural changes that learning creates.

💡 In this session, Matt will introduce the Return on Impact (ROIm) framework and show attendees how to move beyond smile sheets and basic ROI calculations to tell a more complete story about learning outcomes.

Participants will learn how to distinguish between ROI and ROIm, apply impact anchor frameworks to connect behavior change to business value, and design measurement strategies that combine quantitative assessments, qualitative insights, and organizational data. 🚀

Whether you're just beginning your measurement journey or looking to elevate your evaluation strategy, you'll leave with practical tools to demonstrate the true impact of learning and development initiatives.
