This episode looks at evaluating learning. My guest is someone whose surname spikes a lot of discussion and debate within learning and development, organizational development and the HR sector. I’ve known Jim Kirkpatrick since we first met in 2012 and we’ve worked together since. I feel very honored to be one of the few people in the world that are a certified Kirkpatrick evaluation program facilitator. We look at why you should evaluate learning, the approaches you should take and bust some of the myths out there that surround learning evaluation.
