The Truth about Measuring Impact with Kevin M. Yates, the L&D Detective

The Talent Development Hot Seat podcast - The Top podcast for L&D Professionals

Today we're diving deep into one of our most popular and timeless topics: measuring impact in talent development.

Many organizations still grapple with proving the tangible effects of their learning and training programs, which is crucial for securing funding, gaining support, and becoming strategic partners within companies.

Our guest, Kevin M. Yates, known fondly as the L&D Detective, joins us once again to:

• Share his wisdom and experience in surfacing the true value of learning initiatives in organizational success.
• Share his journey from aspirational ideas to actionable strategies
• Discuss importance of using business metrics over surveys
• Explore how training, learning, and other contributors collectively drive performance within the workplace ecosystem.

Although this conversation was originally recorded during a community call within our Talent Development Think Tank Community, it's packed with fresh insights, including Kevin's updated L&D Detective kit.

Kevin is not just an expert in learning and development, but he also has a heart for impact through his non-profit organization, Meals in the Meantime, which provides nourishing meals to those in need.

Stay tuned for a discussion that promises both practical advice and inspiration to elevate your talent development strategies!
