Metrics. They’re critical to the work we do—and sometimes so tricky to wrap our arms around.
What should we measure? How do we measure it? How do we use those metrics to prove the value of our learning programs?
There’s a lot to cover when it comes to measuring impact, and that’s what we intend to cover during the Metrics That Matter Summit.
Join us for a series of talks on metrics & measurement—from how to align learning objectives with business outcomes to how to present program performance to your leadership team.

Webinar Recap & Notes

A Journey into Business Outcomes at the Metrics that Matter Summit

Hello everyone and welcome to an insightful journey into establishing meaningful business outcomes for education programs. This session was proudly presented as part of the "Metrics at Matter Summit," aiming to explore the intertwined relationship between educational initiatives and the key metrics that truly matter to an organization.

As we embarked on our learning journey, we were greeted by Dave Ibis, the VP of Solutions Consulting, who shared an unexpected personal story about his lost and found bicycle, seamlessly linking it to the real-world odds of recapturing operational losses—much like aligning educational programs with business outcomes. “I’m an overflowing optimist,” Dave confided, capturing the optimistic approach the summit encouraged among its attendees.

The agenda outlined a progression through defining business outcomes, emphasizing why these are pivotal for aligning education to broader organizational goals. Discussions highlighted strategic alignment, investment justification, and accountability as three pillars fortifying the validity of educational outcomes. “The first thing our CXO discussed with me wasn’t about strategies or deliverables,” Dave humorously added, “but about how ‘Appetite for Destruction’ is the greatest rock album ever.”

Engagement was stimulated further through an interactive session via Slido, which invited participants to evaluate example business outcomes, learning objectives, and metrics using real-time polls. These engaging discussions placed metrics such as customer retention rate and time to productivity front and center, provoking thoughtful discourse on the pivotal value they encompass.

To crystallize understanding, the summit visually distilled the pathways from business outcomes to the tactical educational objectives they influence—encouraging a stepwise connection between concept and application. Dave's demonstration within Intellum’s demo portal not only showcased platform functionality but highlighted achieving practicality through an intuitive learner interface and comprehensive reporting system.

In closing, the session echoed a consistent call for clarity: educational metrics should lucidly narrate program achievements through solid analytics and storytelling—not merely as standalone figures but contextual landscapes shaping growth and retention. This is part of the seamless journey where wisdom accumulates not in achieving completeness but in perpetually striving towards it—a takeaway eloquently wrapped in humor and depth at every learning juncture.
