    • % of employees from the IT function and other business units passing/failing training.
  • Practice
    Adopt a collaborative approach to the management of the training portfolio.

  • Practice
    Rationalize delivery methods based on uptake.
    Outcomes
    • Data from training uptake can help identify preferred and redundant methods of training delivery.
    • This can help shape future training delivery strategy.
    Metric
    % of end-user uptake in training via the provided routes.
5Optimized
  • Practice
    Ensure users are assessed post-training in their work environment against expected training outcomes (speed, productivity, scope of use).

    % of end-users who have had training and skills profiles developed as a result of training assessments.
  • Practice
    Track assessed training levels against performance metrics such as customer satisfaction, customer retention, staff turnover, system availability, system usage.
    Outcomes
    • The impact of training provides increased visibility into what is working and what is not and what requires further investment.
    • It also provides sound justification for any requests for additional resources for training in the future.
    Metric
    % of end-users who have had their training level tracked against performance metrics.
