5 Moments of Need

Stop Measuring What’s Easy. Start Measuring What Matters.

What if the problem with learning evaluation isn’t the metrics—but the system we’ve built around them?

In this episode of the Performance Matters Podcast, Bob Mosher joins Julie Dirksen and David Kelly to challenge how L&D measures success. They explore why organizations often measure activity and completion instead of performance, the limits of connecting training directly to business outcomes, and how smaller feedback loops can provide more useful insights.

The conversation also looks at how L&D can move beyond being an order taker, get closer to the workflow, and become a more proactive partner in solving performance problems.

The takeaway? Don’t just collect data because you can. Measure what helps you make better decisions and improve performance.
