The L&D Portfolio Evaluation Model: Portfolio & Measurement Plan Decision Guide
Tips for Using This Decision Guide • Portfolio Decision Guide • When selecting the macro Business Outcome, use the Business Outcomes mapping page to help align to the macro outcome that makes the most sense • When considering if a course is designed to provide your company with a competitive advantage, don’t overthink it; generally, your highest-investment courses will fall into that category • Measurement Plan Decision Guide • Keep it simple and start with 1 Measurement Plan per Portfolio • If you do this, the Measurement Plan Decision Guide won’t be necessary! • If you must differentiate further, establish clear criteria for “why” some courses might need a different Measurement Plan and how Course Owners will know that they are making the right choice. Update the slide accordingly. • Examples: • Subject matter (e.g. Leadership courses use a different Measurement Plan) • Duration (e.g. Content under 1 hour uses a different Measurement Plan)
Mapping Survey Business Outcomes to Macro Outcomes The below may be helpful to consider when using the Portfolio Assignment Decision Guide: Business Outcomes which ultimately increase Operational Effectiveness: Business Outcomes which ultimately Drive Growth: Customer Satisfaction Sales/Revenue Innovation (if focused on new product development) Building internal business relationships Productivity Employee Engagement • Compliance • Cost management • Employee Retention • Innovation (if focused on increasing efficiency) • Employee engagement • Operational Efficiency • Quality • Risk • Safety Note: Some outcomes could contribute to both Operational Effectiveness (bottom-line) or Driving Growth (top-line) outcomes; consider the objectives of the training and which macro outcome learners’ application of the training will contribute to most.
