Learning ROI | How do you Measure The Impact Of Learning?

In the very latest research conducted by LEO, almost all respondents agreed that ‘measuring the business impact of learning is an organisational priority’ with a 71% increase in L&D departments saying they ‘feel executive pressure to measure their learning programmes’¹. We were interested to see that ‘measuring impact’ was also a hot topic in a recent Notion webinar. Before the webinar, delegates were encouraged to ask questions about everything they had ever wanted to know about executive coaching. Of all the questions raised, over half related to how to measure the impact of coaching.

This is clearly a highly topical issue that is shrouded in mystery. In the webinar, Notion’s Director of Coaching, Laura Ashley-Timms shed some light on the matter. Measuring the ROI of Coaching has been Laura’s personal passion for well over a decade. It has always surprised Laura that so many organisations don’t measure the impact of their coaching. You can hear her talk about this in a recording of her recent webinar.

Let’s look at coaching as a specific example. According to Notion’s coaching poll of over 700 global organisations, only 1% of organisations properly measure coaching and 60% don’t even try on any level.
