Many organizations don't evaluate beyond Kirkpatrick's Level 1. While some organizations evaluate at Level 2, very few evaluate at Level 3, and even fewer at Level 4. Yet, without Level 3 and 4 evaluations, organizations have no evidence that their HPT interventions make any difference on the job.
Why do organizations spend billions on such interventions? Rich will offer explanations. More importantly, he will solicit participants' stories of evaluation challenges they have encountered on the job. He will lead a series of discussions in which participants consider ways they can help organizations conduct action-oriented evaluations of HPT interventions.
