Drive Organizational Performance Through Evaluation

Organizations that embed evaluation into their culture and operations can pivot faster, innovate more effectively, and foster a growth mindset. Evaluation thus becomes a tool for learning and continuous improvement. Building a Culture of Evaluation leads you through how to integrate measurement and feedback into your organization’s DNA.

Learning trailblazer and President and CEO of Kirkpatrick Partners Vanessa Alzate delivers a bold, visionary guide for transforming learning functions into strategic powerhouses. In this book, she reimagines the impact the Kirkpatrick Four Levels® can have in today’s dynamic workplace. Not just for L&D use, the model gives you and your organization a common language and decision matrix—an operating system—to align all people, processes, and performance systems with results.

This book explores using evaluation as the foundation of the design process for new interventions to ensure you achieve behavior change and learning transfer. Then, it brings evaluation to life with practical applications across onboarding, leadership development, sales enablement, coaching, and even artificial intelligence initiatives. Finally, it looks ahead to how you can scale evaluation beyond just L&D across the entire organization.

With contributed chapters from global experts and real-world examples, this book is your road map to shifting from order taker to business partner, from isolated metrics to enterprise-wide impact.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

"Building a Culture of Evaluation is a practical guide for a simple but rigorous system for evaluating meaningful success in any business-critical program. Anyone responsible for organizational strategy, sales enablement, leadership development, or marketing campaigns within an organization must read this book."—Nicole Papaioannou Lugara, PhD, Founder and Learning Strategist, Your Instructional Designer

"Building a Culture of Evaluation is perfect for L&D and people leaders who want data to actually inform action! This book turns evaluation into something accessible, useful, and truly strategic."—Nicole Sandoval, Head of Organizational Learning and Development, Pete & Gerry's

"I have long professed that using evaluation to find out what’s working in L&D and what is not is a necessity, not a choice. This new book by Vanessa Alzate is a valuable resource for making the evaluation mandate SOP."—Robert O. Brinkerhoff, Professor Emeritus, Western Michigan University; Founder, Brinkerhoff Evaluation Institute
