Designing the Model for Evaluation Without measurement, there is no possibility of continuous improvement. Model: Svenson and Rinderer, 1992
OBJECTIVES: 1. Introduce Svenson. 2. Review Evaluation Types, Traditions, and Perceptions. 3. Learn the Role of Evaluation in the Strategic Planning Process (according to Svenson). 4. Discuss Svenson’s Nine-Step Results-Measurement Model 5. Determine the Applications of Svenson’s Model to Evaluation Traditions and Perceptions.
Who is Svenson? • Co-author (with Monica Rinderer) of:The Training and Development Strategic Plan Workbook • More than twenty-five years experience in training • One of the five models for Evaluation
Evaluation Traditions: Scientific 1. Using control of quantitative variables. Systems 2. Using flow of order (i.e. sequential modules). Qualitative 3. Based on value. Eclectic 4. Collected from various sources.
Evaluation Perceptions (Viewpoints): 1. Discrepancy Comparison to known benchmarks. 2. Democratic Changes made mostly from a governing board. 3. Analytical Based on empirical data (taken over time). 4. Diagnostic Research-based examination of program by sections. 5. Other
Strategic Planning Process Phases (Svenson and Rinderer, 1992) Strategic Vision & Goals Alternative Strategies & Resource Requirements Organization Management Administrative Strategies Implementation Organization of Training Governance & Advisory Structure Measuring Results Supervisor & Management Support Finance & Accounting Primary Results Secondary Results Results Data Sources System Design Process
Svenson’s Nine-Step ModelFor Measuring Results 1. Identify Decisions. 2. Define Results to be Measured. 3. Identify Required Data. 4. Define Data Sources and Measurement Means. 5. Specify Reports. 6. Specify Storage/Retrieval Database. 7. Design Overall Information Flow. 8. Design Reports-Handling Administrative System. 9. Evaluate Cost of Evaluation Compared to Benefits.

Measuring Results 1. Primary Training Results 2. Secondary Results 3. Results Data Sources 4. System Design Process
Primary Training Results • Training needs met. • Organizational benefits from training needs met. • Cost of training needs met. • Quality/effectiveness of training provided. • Productivity of training resources. • Training needs not met. • Organizational cost of training needs not met.
Secondary Results • Needs analysis & curriculum architecture process results. • Instructional materials development results. • Instructional delivery results. • Training facilities utilization.
Company Annual Training Results This Year Last Year Deviation • Number of Employees 3730 3925 5.0% • Hourly 3000 3200 -6.25% • Professional 350 325 -6.25% • Management 380 400 -5.00% • Number of Training per Employee • Hourly 5.1 4.6 +10.9 • Professional 10.3 7.2 +43.1 • Management 7.4 6.5 +13.4
Results Data Sources • Registration and scheduling data. • Personnel data. • Accounting data. • Trainee feedback questionnaire. • Instructor feedback questionnaire. • Supervisor feedback questionnaire. • Mastery test results. • Evaluation team data.

Questions from Svenson Presentation 1. What evaluation type, tradition, and perception does Svenson’s system fit into best and why?
“Statistical” Perception: The “Other” Evaluation Perception Employing the principles of statistics this perception deals with the process of the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of masses of data from the training program’s results sources.
Questions from Svenson Presentation 2. Give an example of how Svenson’s model could work in your industry.
Questions from Svenson Presentation 3. Differentiate Svenson’s model from any of the other models of evaluation.
