| The Value of e-Learning (Recorded Session) |  |
Presenter: Kieran King, Global Director of Client Loyalty, SkillSoft
In an effort to determine a soft ROI for learning, SkillSoft reviewed best practices across organisations and referenced thought leaders on learning and learning measurement such as Kirkpatrick, Phillips, Naughton, Bersin, Masie and Brinkerhoff. We used this analysis to create a simple assessment and calculator to illustrate the estimated cost displacement and productivity impact of learning programs without the due diligence required of an exhaustive analysis.
What You'll Learn: Learn how SkillSoft has created a simple approach to estimate multiple levels of learning evaluation in a quick and straightforward way. Take some tips from the webinar to apply to your own measurement strategy.

Presenter: Tim Hildreth, Director, Product Marketing/Content Solutions, SkillSoft
Across your organisation, technology professionals are striving to complete critical projects, respond to customer needs and help the company exceed business goals. They balance the needs of their constituents with the need to continually develop their skills and understanding of emerging technologies. Over time, this can lead to a serious deficit in IT skills. It can also contribute to an inability to capitalise on new technologies that could potentially provide a competitive advantage.
What You'll Learn:
- How can I more effectively develop my IT professionals?
- How can I balance training with the need to complete critical projects on time?
- How do I know what learning resources are most important?
- How can we accomplish meaningful training when it is so difficult to find time for formal training?
