What to measure instead
Modern learning measurement should include efficiency, effectiveness, adoption, business impact, and trust. For AI-enabled learning, risk and quality measures are especially important.
A better measurement mix
- Efficiency: Cycle time, cost, speed to delivery.
- Effectiveness: Proficiency, assessments, observed behavior change.
- Adoption: Participation, repeat use, manager reinforcement.
- Business impact: Ramp time, productivity, quality, customer experience, mobility.
- Trust and risk: Accuracy, bias checks, policy adherence, learner confidence.
