Satisfaction scores prove learning happened, not what it changed. That gap is costing L&D credibility, and CIPD research shows leaders’ recognition of L&D’s contribution fell from 81% to 67% in just two years.
Most evaluation frameworks assume control groups, long measurement plans and analyst time that few HR and L&D teams have. So impact measurement slips down the list, and the next budget conversation is built on activity data again.
The L&D Impact Pack from The Fruitful Group is a free Excel toolkit built on a simple, conservative method: measure what matters, monetise what you reasonably can, and evidence the rest. It uses data your organisation already holds.
Inside the toolkit:
Measure Menu: pick the measures your business already cares about.
ROI Calculator: your ROI, benefit-cost ratio and payback period from your own figures.
Evidence Log: capture the impact you can’t price, in a form boards accept.
Evidence Checklist: 20 checks across before, during and after.
Board One-Pager: a ready-made summary for your finance director, stress-tested at half your assumptions
Download the free L&D Impact Pack and build a business case that proves what your learning really delivers.
