Value Measurement Toolkit The Value Measurement Toolkit was designed to help you measure the impact of your learning solutions on the business results of your organization. The Toolkit is the result of more than six months of research and includes a clearly defined, hands-on process along with a data analysis tool for determining the value returned for investment in SkillSoft e-Learning solutions. Training Needs Assessment SkillSoft’s Training Needs Assessment Tools provide you with online capability to evaluate the learning priorities across your organization. The survey and report results are fully managed by SkillSoft for you. You can separately evaluate the perceived needs of managers and associates for Business Skills or IT Training. At the conclusion of the survey period, SkillSoft will provide you with an analysis report of your results in a format that will assist you in making appropriate library selections. Universal Competency Map The Universal Competency map can assist you in aligning your library content to specific needs within your organization. If you have central core competencies for your workforce, this tool can help you easily identify which of the competencies present match yours, and which SkillSoft courses target those competency descriptions. If you do not have readily defined competencies, the tool can be used to identify some common learning needs, and used by HR or supervisors to assist in making learning recommendations from your SkillSoft library to close skill gaps. Program Data Analysis Report The Program Data Analysis Report allows you to measure the success of your e-Learning program based on end user feedback, site utilization trending and your own established success criteria. By pulling together specific evaluation and usage data, and dividing it into an easy to read Analysis Report, you can clearly see where your program is headed and how that stacks up against your goals.
