Session Overview

One of the biggest challenges to many L&D managers is the measurement and ROI of the initiatives that they implement. In this
Case Study, Scott Stein will share his experience being involved in numerous national training initiatives that involved anywhere

step methodology that he recently used to project manage an L&D initiative that had individual measurable improvements including
