In this episode of Powered by Learning, Ajay Pangarkar, co-author of Learning Metrics: How to Measure the Impact of Organizational Learning, joins us to discuss why measuring learning outcomes is crucial for aligning L&D with business goals. He shares powerful insights into how L&D professionals can connect learning to performance metrics, creating measurable value that resonates across the organization. Show Notes:Here are some key takeaways from our conversation with author Ajay Pangarkar. Accountability Drives Organizational Value: L&D must focus on delivering measurable results tied to business goals; when budgets are cut, it often reflects a lack of demonstrated value.Align Metrics with Organizational Goals: Successful L&D metrics should connect learning outcomes with operational and performance metrics rather than relying solely on internal benchmarks.Engagement Across Levels of the Organization is Essential: Gaining buy-in requires engaging three key groups: senior leaders, mid-level managers, and the learners themselves.Mission-Driven Learning: When unsure of L&D's focus, professionals should look to the organization's mission to align training objectives with core business needs.Use Performance Metrics as a Roadmap: L&D teams should assess and utilize existing organizational performance metrics to identify and address specific pain points, ensuring learning initiatives drive tangible improvements.Read more:How to Measure the Impact of Organizational Learning by Ajay Pangarkar for Training IndustryOrder Learning Metrics by Ajay Pangarkar and Teresa KirkwoodPowered by Learning listener discount code: KOGANPAGE20Learning Metrics is a practical book for L&D professionals which answers these questions and provides guidance for measuring and communicating the impact of L&D activity in the business.

How effectively are you communicating with your remote workforce? Remote communication is now more widespread than it's ever been. Many people now have to communicate digitally, using virtual tools enabling written communication such as email, and audio and visual communication like video calls.

So, how can you ensure that your communication is clear, motivates your audience to act, and helps you reach your desired outcome? In this episode, Matt Pierce is joined by Jesse Lahey, a consultant speaker and author with over 25 years of experience in leadership and workforce communication.

Ajay explains something a mentee said that affected his beliefs about how crucial continuous development is. 07:43 Part 2: Unaware of Our Acts of Leadership While we often plan what they do to lead, we aren't fully aware of how our words can lead others. Similar to being skilled at driving, we lead automatically and unaware of the nuances. Ajay describes how we can be surprised when people talk about how we helped and influence them. 17:13 Part 3: Rethinking Our Conversations Ajay would like us to reflect on how we communicate. His advice can improve our ability to learn from our dialogues with teammates, colleagues, direct reports, and even family and friends. _________________________________ How You Can Support the Show Unlabeled Leadership is a free service for people to learn about leadership.
