Development Over Growth
In any undertaking, people want to know what the results will be. Before spending time and money on a leadership development program, you will want to know both how effective it will be and, and how you will measure this effectiveness.
The results of our programs can be seen in many areas. The most tangible appear as higher sales volume, reduced turnover, and increased productivity and efficiency. Less tangible, but equally important, are results like instilling leaders with greater discipline and confidence, better communication with employees, and more effective goal setting. Results are apparent in more motivated, engaged employees who are in tune with their managers and know that their contributions are valued.
But, how do you measure results, both tangible and intangible?
ROI Measurement
We often hear talk of return on investment (ROI). It is the key concern in any initiative, from advertising to employee development.
At Distinct Planning, we make ROI a part of our program design. We work with you to determine how best to track the results of your program, while we are planning it, so you will know from the beginning how your leadership development program will be analyzed.
We can determine ROI in a variety of ways. We’ll be sure to find the method that is best for you. Retention rates, promotion of leaders, productivity benchmarks — all of these are options that we can discuss when planning your ROI measurement tools.
Development vs. Growth
In all of our programs, our aim is to help your organization develop as it grows. Herman Dale wrote, in the context of economies, that: “To develop means to expand or realize the potentialities of: to bring gradually to a fuller, greater or better state.”
The effectiveness of our programs is seen in managers who have realized their highest potential, who are better leaders and who, as fully developed individuals, can help your organization through periods of growth and change.
Our results speak for themselves. We invite you to read the testimonials of our clients, and to learn more about the benefits of our programs from our case studies.
