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.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives.
