Typical Mistakes in Training Evaluation

I have made a list of typical mistakes made in training evaluation. 

• Lack of ownership at senior level
• Senior management rarely asking for updates
• Unclear starting point
• Needs and outcomes not linked
• Limited specification at outset
• Participants forced to attend the programme
• Lack of motivation in learners
• Limited expectations from the  programme
• Poor process
• Prohibitive climate for transfer
• Disgruntled participants
• Happy sheet focused
• Lack of link from spend to impact
• Limited performance improvement
• Subjective evaluation processes
• A lack of dialogue between the line managers and participants
• A failure to revisit the handouts and notes
• No understanding of how to effect change in individuals or systems
• No follow up with action plans
• Failure to look for evaluation data, post programme
