CHICAGO, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- KnowledgeAdvisors announced that Eaton
University, the training organization for diversified industrial manufacturer
Eaton Corporation, has recently been honored with Corporate University Week's
CUBIC Award for Best Evaluation Technique.
The Best Evaluation Technique award winner must demonstrate evidence of
formalized data collection, that strategic goals are clearly being achieved,
the use of a valid evaluation model, a demonstrated return on investment to
the business bottom line, and demonstrated executive management belief and
support that learning is having an impact. A panel of learning and
measurement experts judged applications.
"When we launched Eaton University in May 2001, it was absolutely critical
that we show the value of what we do and the return on investment back to the
overall corporation," said Dee Walters, manager of Eaton University.
"KnowledgeAdvisors Metrics that Matter tool helped us to demonstrate the
impact of Eaton University."
KnowledgeAdvisors Metrics that Matter system is the learning evaluation
tool for Eaton University. The tool, which is fully integrated with Eaton's
learning management system, collects data from Eaton's training participants
and their managers gathering intelligence measuring job impact and business
impact. In addition to over 100 web-based reports, a comprehensive score card
is generated tabulating indicators on satisfaction, learning effectiveness,
job impact, business results, and a financial return on investment.
The Metrics that Matter tool has also been leveraged for internal and
external benchmarking. Comprehensive metrics compare performance of
instructors, locations, learning programs, training deliveries and more. A
database of over 40 million data points allows Eaton University to compare its
performance against others.
"Clients like Eaton take full advantage of the power of managing learning
by metrics," said Kent Barnett, CEO of KnowledgeAdvisors. "We are very proud
to have played a role in Eaton's CUBIC award."
Eaton University is not new to winning awards. Earlier in the year, it
was awarded NetG's Corporate University of the Year Award. "Eaton University
is driven to be the best it can be and to maximize learning investments for
Eaton Corporation," said Barnett.
Dee Walters, of Eaton University, will speak at KnowledgeAdvisors Annual
Learning Analytics Conference held March 17-19, 2004. This event is open to
the public and will be a forum for others to learn from world-class learning
organizations to learn how to measure the impact and return on training
investments.
