We get it, sometimes analysing data can feel overwhelming and daunting. It can feel impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel where everything starts to make sense. And quite frankly, it can be tricky to know where to begin. L&D teams often know that their data holds invaluable insights but they simply don’t know where to start.
Here at Kineo, everything we do is based on data.
And we love helping our clients navigate a sticky data situation. Data can be extremely powerful and change-making when you have the tools and resources to simplify it and understand its relevancy and impact. When data is used effectively it can even be a catalyst for broader organisational change.
So, what do we mean by ‘data analytics’?
Data analytics is a big trend in the L&D world right now and it has proven to help multiple organisations create a bigger and better impact on their learning experiences. Many L&D teams are already aware that there is a need (and added value) to adopt and embrace new ways to measure learning impact.
Kineo Analytics tracks data across your full learning experience, providing the insights your team needs to prove the success of your online learning and make smarter decisions. It goes beyond simple data collection to give you insights into how your learners engage. Plus, it analyses how they interact with your content and platform and how effectively it builds skills and confidence.
It’s all about showcasing the impact of learning
Many L&D professionals are often challenged about the impact that their learning content, programmes and experiences bring. It can be tough for L&D teams to readily have ‘evidence’ available to combat these concerns and to justify the worth and effectiveness of their programmes.
Brandon Hall Group’s 2020 Learning Measurement Study found that fewer than 16% of organisations are ‘very effectively’ able to identify and track a series of metrics.
This includes measuring the following for any of their learning:
- Participation
- Satisfaction
- Knowledge transfer
- Behaviour change
- Business impact
The challenges in moving towards a data-driven approach
Understanding and measuring the impact of learning is vital to ensure the learner is always enjoying the most useful and effective experience. Whether you need insights to showcase the value of these experiences to your senior management or you need to analyse the effectiveness of the learning for your own insights, there is always a need to analyse and understand the impact and difference you’re making to the learner. Without the right tools and support this can feel stressful and impossible to navigate.
Many L&D leaders report having one or more of the following challenges:
A lack of confidence in analysing data across the team
- A mismatch of data across differing platforms (or inaccessible data)
- A lack of technology capabilities leads to extensive manual or ‘slow’ processes
- A lack of support from senior management (or an understanding of the challenges involved)
- An organisational culture that isn’t used to being ‘data-first’
- Communication problems between internal teams and stakeholders
