• 4% of respondents rate their organization as excellent at using learning program data to make business decisions
• 45% of organizations have a dedicated staff person who is responsible for evaluating learning programs
• 66% of respondents believe the need to demonstrate financial benefits or profitability of TD initiatives will increase over the next two years
• 28% of respondents say that AI will have an extremely positive impact on measuring and evaluating learning programs over the next two years
