Today's business community, and particularly the talent development community, are relying more on analytics to make decisions about programs and projects than ever before. Yet many people still ask: How do we ensure the right measures are taken and that the connection between investment in our people and the results achieved is clear?
The answer is clear: through the process of business alignment.
Level 2 Learning Objectives
There is increased interest in evaluating the acquisition of knowledge and skills. These drivers include growth in the number of learning organizations, emphasis being placed on intellectual capital, and increased use of certifications as a discriminator in the selection process. Given this, Level 2 objectives should be well defined.
Level 2 objectives communicate expected outcomes from instruction; they describe competent performance that should be the result of learning. The best learning
objectives describe behaviors that are observable and measurable. As with Level 1 objectives, Level 2 objectives are outcome based. Clearly worded and specific, they
spell out what the participant must be able to do as a result of learning.
Program objectives are the fundamental basis for evaluation.
Program objectives drive the design and development of the program and define how to measure success. Program objectives define what the program is intended to do and how to measure participant achievement and system support of the learning transfer process. All too often, however, minimal emphasis is placed on developing objectives and their defined measures.
