[webinar recording] Practice, Evidence, and the Future of Learning Measurement
Watch the replay of Regis Company CEO Mike Vaughan, L&D Global Sentiment Survey founder Donald H. Taylor, and former Learning Guild CEO David Kelly for an expert discussion on the metrics, skills intelligence, and design approaches that will define CLO success in 2026 and beyond. Over a thousand L&D leaders joined this live Training Industry Leader Talk!
Practice, Evidence, and the Future of Learning Measurement.
For years, L&D measurement focused on activity: completion, satisfaction, participation. But in 2026, CLOs are being asked a different question: Not "did they learn," but "are they ready for the task, role, or job?"
This talk explores how behavioral telemetry, simulation-based design, and skills intelligence are transforming what's possible in learning measurement. Attendees will leave with expert perspectives on rapidly-emerging data trends and actionable steps to prepare their organizations.
What You'll Learn:
- The Metrics CLOs Will Be Accountable For - Why traditional learning metrics are losing credibility with executives and what new forms of evidence leaders are expecting
- Simulations as the New Instrument - How practice-based design and behavioral data are becoming the emerging standard for skill validation, and why behavioral telemetry is fundamentally different from surveys, tests, or self-reporting
- Design Shifts That Enable Measurement - The transition from courses to experiences, from consumption to practice, and how fluid design approaches make simulations faster and more accessible than ever before
