Learning pathway for instructor managers

The Metrics That Matter (MTM) learning pathway for instructor managers is a curated resource of articles and videos designed to guide them through the basics of MTM to be successful in the role as an instructor manager.

Instructor manager role

Instructor managers are assigned to specific instructors to ensure that these direct reports are receiving the necessary support to deliver course materials at a high level of training effectiveness to increase training impact.

Introduction to key metrics

Key Metrics are available in the various MTM reporting tools which Instructor Managers can use to monitor their direct reports’ performance. These include:

  • Scrap Learning - learning that is not applied back on the job.
  • Net Promoter Score (NPS) - how likely a learner is to recommend the learning experience.
  • Estimated Performance Improvement (EPI) - how much a learner’s performance improved due to training.
  • Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) - training’s impact on an individual’s performance or productivity compared to the costs

These metrics will help you determine if the training provided is effective and having the desired level of value, on-the-job application, and impact based on your organization’s business plans and goals. Click on the links below to learn more about each of these important metrics:
