Return on Investment (ROI) Training for Executives Growing
Birmingham, AL & Greensboro, NC – The ROI Institute and the not-for-profit Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) have just completed the first ever ROI certification for individuals involved in leadership development. This comprehensive one-week workshop, designed to prepare leadership development professionals to conduct impact and ROI studies on major leadership programs, was conducted on CCL’s headquarters campus in Greensboro, NC. Each workshop participant must complete an impact or ROI study to achieve the designation of Certified ROI Professional. A total of 18 professionals representing four countries and several major organizations such as Cisco Systems and Boeing attended the comprehensive workshop on September 14-18, 2009. The week of training focused on measuring the impact of leadership development, coaching, executive development, management development, and executive education.
“To date, more than 4,000 individuals have been involved in the ROI certification process,” said Jack Phillips, chairman of ROI Institute. “While participants usually come from many different functional areas, leadership development is emerging as the hottest area for this level of measurement. It’s an important topic and this certification provided an opportunity to focus just on this discipline. This certification is the beginning of a partnership with CCL to focus on the business contribution of leadership development,”
Based on this success, the ROI Institute will plan another special ROI certification sometime in 2010.
