The ROI Foundations Certificate is a 2 day course that provides an excellent grounding in all aspects of the Phillips methodology and will enable participants to undertake an ROI study using the complete five-level ROI Impact Measurement Model.
This workshop is for those who manage a training function or anyone responsible for determining the impact of learning and change interventions. The workshop teaches the skills of research and measurement that are necessary to effectively conduct impact analysis studies. Ideally, participants should plan to engage in an actual ROI process though this is not essential to achieve certification.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- During the two days participants will -
- Understand the 5 levels of evaluation and how they work
- Implement appropriate data collection techniques for each level
- Be able to analyse the results of the data collected
- Understand the chain of impact in the evaluation process
- Calculate the ROI
- Isolate the impact of training
- Walk-through a complete ROI process
- Examine a range of ROI case studies and exercises
- Be able to explain the ROI process
- Be able to implement a basic ROI process in their workplace

| Cost: | €2950 (Members of Impact Measurement Skillnet €1850) |
The ROI Diploma completes the full certification programme for ROI practitioners and is open exclusively to those who have completed the Foundations Course provided by the Impact Measurement Centre in Ireland.
This workshop is designed to build on the skills covered in the 2-day certification workshop; refining and enhancing those skills, and applying them in case studies. After examining case studies, participants should be actively involved in three projects: presenting an impact study, developing a plan for implementing the ROI methodology, and presenting the planning documents for an ROI impact study, which includes receiving feedback from the group. The specific agenda for this workshop is as follows:
Day 1
Brief review of ROI methodology, including key issues.
Review of concerns, challenges, barriers, and other items.
Case application in multiple parts. A step-by-step application of the ROI, with an interactive case study.
Homework: Prepare for case study presentation (in teams, participants are assigned a particular impact study and must prepare a presentation for the next day).
Day 2
Case presentations and critiques
Communicating impact study data to a variety of audiences
ROI barriers
ROI implementation
ROI personal implementation plan
Homework: Fine tune the data collection plan and ROI analysis plan.
Day 3
Discuss ROI implementation plans
ROI forecasting: developing an ROI before project implementation.
Teaching and briefing others on ROI
Consulting on ROI
Presentation of ROI impact study plans, data collection and ROI analysis
