Summary: "Why measure results in HRD? If HRD is to be a core organizational process, it must act like one and hold itself accountable. Assessing results, particularly bottom-line performance results, is key to gaining support from top management. And those who measure results ultimately find it a source of program improvement and innovation as well as pride and satisfaction." "Results is both theoretically sound and firmly rooted in practice. The practical five-step assessment process the authors present gives readers a simple and direct journey from analysis inputs to decision outputs. This book provides the tools required for effective and efficient assessment of the outcomes resulting from development efforts in organizations."--Jacket.
