Get More Bang for your Measurement Buck with Metrics that Matter

KnowledgeAdvisors’ research focused on investigating the value that clients received when implementing the Metrics that Matter® system through two main approaches:
- Survey research targeted a group of long-term MTM users who articulated the tangible benefits of using MTM.
- Data mining focused on clients with two or more years of data in the MTM system to determine the long-term effectives of MTM on L&D performance.

The findings from the two distinct sources of information provided similar results. Metrics that Matter® is a valuable measurement system that yields (i) short-term benefits such as process efficiency, reporting standardization, useful comparative information and (ii) long-term benefits like aiding organizations as they progress along a measurement maturity curve which yields performance improvement ranging from 3-5% among learning metrics; such improvement is likely to translate into substantial business improvement that helps organizations outpace the S&P 500.

To optimize value received from Metrics That Matter®, KnowledgeAdvisors recommends that organizations pursue the following:

- Integrate MTM with their learning management system.

- Monitor performance of the curricula by implementing the MTM system and progress up the measurement maturity curve.

- Ensure that their L&D group takes action on the results that are collected such as rewarding top instructors and developing (or firing) bottom performing instructors.

- Develop a measurement strategy to create and sustain a long-term, effective measurement process.

- Build business intelligence by linking data sets, uncovering correlations and determining what is driving changes in the business.

- Optimize measurement beyond L&D by assessing other aspects of human capital such as recruiting, talent (competencies), leadership, engagement, and performance.

- Share the value of L&D metrics with their leaders by applying GARP – KnowledgeAdvisors’ set of Generally Accepted Reporting Principles.

“Metrics that Matter® is our flagship software solution for human capital evaluation which allows you to cost-effectively measure and increase the impact of your human capital processes from recruiting to leadership development. Our data speaks louder than our words!
