For decades, organizations, business leaders,

and training professionals have been struggling to connect training events to tangible business results.  Billions of dollars are spent every year on employee initiatives and yet  so few organizations have anything to show for it.  That's because no one bothers to measure their training and build the critical "bridge" that will carry employees from their training experiences to profitable performance outcomes. 


This book finally puts an end to all that and shows you exactly how to build your bridge and measure your success at every step.  By giving you some new and simple ways to measure the traditional 5 levels of impact, it provides everything you need to define the benefit and bottom-line value of all your training programs.  And most importantly, it introduces a new and ground-breaking Level 6 which shows you how to absolutely maximize the impact and ROI of all your training programs.
