I used to be one of those people who thought course completions were enough. A line on a report, a percentage ticked up, maybe a nice quote from someone who liked the workshop—it looked fine in slide decks—but it never helped me make a better decision.
I kept asking myself…
What are we actually changing?
Were we hiring better because of that training?
Were our managers leading better?
Were teams shipping faster?
No idea.
We kept running post-learning surveys.
We sent out quizzes.
We tracked logins.
It felt like doing something. But if someone asked, “How do you know it worked?”, I’d have to stall or bluff.
The problem isn’t that L&D doesn’t care about measurement. Everyone I know in the space wants better data. But we’ve been stuck with tools that can’t give us anything real. You can’t measure performance change with a smiley face and a five-question quiz.
Not another platform full of content or checklists. A way to actually see skill growth, not just guessed at, not just self-rated.
From real work, real interactions, real output.
Live, not lagging. Clear, not buried in reports.
I don’t want to pitch it here, that’s coming soon. But I do want to say this:
If you’ve been pretending completion rates tell the full story (like I did), you’re not alone.
And if you’ve stopped trying to measure altogether, I get that too.
But we’re past due for something better, and we’re almost ready to show it to you.
