There are multiple factors that drive the possible need to track executive developmental investments:

  • Increased accountability for all functional areas within the organization, driven by initiatives such as “Total Quality Management” and other process improvement programs. In areas such as Training & Development, which are known to produce a mix of tangible and intangible benefits, there is an increased desire by senior management to measure performance and outcomes;
  • Increased spending on executive development programs in many organizations over the past several years, making developmental activity more visible across the organization, therefore requiring greater accountability;
  • Increased outsourcing for all areas of corporate training and development, recognizing that many components of executive development are already outsourced. This trend has put additional pressure on the need to evaluate, quantify, and justify in-house executive development programs;
  • Increase in Human Resource Development (HRD) professionals who are viewing their departments as stand-alone business units and are utilizing department profit and loss statements as one measure of performance. Increasingly, professionals from non-HR departments are joining HR teams and bringing a “bottom-line” perspective and discipline;
  • Increased awareness by both executive management as well as HRD professionals on the availability of tools and techniques to quantify impact of executive development programs.
