Fifty year old measurement models are no longer satisfactory as they dont speak the language of — and are not rooted in — the principles of business. Measurement that works is integrated into the entire learning value chain process that begins with defining the business problem that training will address and being very clear at the outset, before any investment is made, regarding the expected, quantifiable results expected and how they will be measured. Utilizing Six Sigma methodology is not only rigorous, tested, and provenit is credible with business people. Six Sigma is a business process that has earned its way into business by consistently delivering value. Although first adopted and widely used in the manufacturing sector, Six Sigma is now being translated for effective use in HR processes as a customer service oriented measurement tool that can be applied to gauge the success of learning and development projects.

Six Sigma is the most proven and successful method to deliver true, meaningful results in todays profit-conscious business world. Speaks the language of business: Todays business world needs a measurement tool that is accepted by and has credibility with all stakeholders.
