Making it Count: Demonstrating Value in Online L&D

There is an increasing emphasis on the importance of L&D optimizing resources to do more with less, while simultaneously being challenged to show value.

To demonstrate value, it is necessary for L&D to align with business priorities and be held accountable through business performance.

By quantifying the impact of its work, L&D can position itself as a true business partner and be seen as an investment center (instead of a cost center).
