abdi alignment and business value diagnosis service

abdi now offers a service giving companies and organisations a comprehensive report on how well their L&D and HR investments are aligned to their business. It shows them how they can make informed decisions to improve alignment and value. It highlights recommendations for improvements to current practices and processes.

Jane Massy reports, "Many organisations find the hardest aspect to adopting a measurement strategy for their human capital investments is getting the upfront diagnosis and planning right. We have experienced over and over again, that for many organisations this means some challenging changes in practice and the role of the HR/L&D professional and the in the planning requirements from senior and line management."

The service combines expertise building on the ROI Institute planning processes, and also draws on work on performance improvement from Gary Rummler, Dana and Jim Robinson, Dave Ulrich and John P Kotter.

The core diagnosis requires 3 days on site consulting/interviews, off site analysis and reporting culminating in a 2.5 hour presentation. It can be customised to very specific organisational requirements. For more details and a quotation, please contact abdi

Consultancy, Research and Meetings

Consultancy

At abdi ltd., we encourage our clients to build their own capability and internal accountability systems so that they can do their own impact measurement. abdi's consultancy services can accelerate this journey and complement the learning that takes place through workshops and writing case studies.

Some clients choose not to build internal capability in impact measurement. They may want the objectivity of an external evaluation. They may find it more cost-effective to outsource.

If outsourcing is the right solution for you, abdi should be your choice. No one in the UK has our level of experience or professional expertise in carrying out impact measurement and ROI studies.

We can provide you with expertise on all stages:

  • setting metrics
  • planning the evaluation
  • data collection and analysis
  • isolation
  • Reporting on L&D impact and ROI

Our cross-sectoral evaluation experience ensures efficiency, effectiveness and robust credible results. We guarantee confidentiality.
