Every profession, every course, and every instruction manual starts with the basics.
How often have you approached the CEO or the CFO with a project proposal and been met with, “Why should I pay for that?” or, “That’s a ‘nice to have’ program.” Every business function competes with every other function for valuable budget dollars. To earn that allocation, it is important for business professionals to articulate clear project objectives that are linked to business imperatives, and that can demonstrate a positive business impact. Whether you want to invest in a new software program or soft skills training, Impact Mapping can help.

Last week I was very fortunate to attend the International ASTD Conference with my Simdustry colleagues. Learning leaders from Ingersoll Rand shared with us the power of using High Impact Learning Maps to develop training tied to business results. I intend to use this for many of my customized training programs, and encourage you to experiment with it and find applicable uses in your organization.
