Your organization invests a great deal into learning and development programs. Do you know if your programs are working? Worth the investment of time and other resources? If your programs are meeting their goals, do you have insight as to why? Or, if they’re not performing well, do you know what they need to succeed?

Program evaluation is about applying systematic methods to collect, analyze, interpret, and communicate data about a program to understand its design, implementation, outcomes, or impacts.
