As a training professional, you fill learning gaps. You know training needs to be effective in the classroom, transferred to the job, and impactful to the organization. But how do you know when you’ve succeeded? You know smile sheets and attendance data aren’t enough, so how do you prove the real value of your training programs? Ultimately, it comes down to measurement...measuring the impact of your training program on your organization. For too long, the training industry struggled to show organizational impact. We’ve been convinced that training ROI can’t be captured. No more.
This event will provide an overview of how to determine organizational impact for every training program you design. Following the ROI by Design™ method presented in this event, you will learn:
Join us to take the mystery out of measurement and add understanding of the measurement to your professional practice.

Dan Black, Innovation Architect & Partner at Faster Glass...imagine better - innovate faster
Dan is a highly skilled facilitator who designs educational experiences which drive performance. His true strength comes in his ability to help his clients establish a shared vision of what they are trying to accomplish. He then works with them to architect plans to execute on the vision. Dan’s aptitude for creative problem solving and connecting seemingly unrelated dots, combined with an infectious air of “joy in the challenge,” has earned him the reputation of a person who does serious work but doesn’t take himself too seriously.
As a business strategist, Dan has helped organizations large and small, both for-profit and non-profit, grow and succeed. His professional career spans PwC, Bank of America (in both Marketing and Technology), and two of his own businesses in Real Estate and Sales Leadership Training. In his last position at a custom learning and development company, he guided a team which served over 130 companies globally by crafting results-focused training solutions.
Dan earned a B.S. in Mass Media Communications from George Mason University and considers himself a native of Charlotte simply due to the fact he’s been there since Independence Blvd. was a two-lane road. He lives with his wife of 20 years, Blair, and their two children, Mason and Sophia.
Little Known Fact
Dan lived in 16 different states and 3 countries before the age of 18. (Just one of the perks of being one of five sons of a U.S. Marine Corps officer!)
ATD Competency: Change Management
Organizational Change Management is a term that is now used religiously within large corporations. I often wonder - do our executives or my colleagues truly understand what this means? It has taken quite some time for me to adequately explain and show our value to the organization, but each year the revelation of change management and its benefits becomes clearer. During my tenure, I have managed to take what was once seen as a touchy-feely, non-revenue generating function to a clearly definable, tangible, and measurable function within an IT organization. At its most core definition, Organizational Change Management embodies the reward an employee and the organization can gain by ensuring all are prepared for the impending change.
Please come join, Damien Bridges, IT Manager of Organizational Change Management, as he outlines a recent European implementation of SAP and the infusion of Change Management principles. We’ll look at Leadership and Stakeholder engagement, key messaging and the metrics surrounding them, and most importantly creative communication.
