GET THE TOOLS AND KNOW-HOW THAT MAKE ROI MORE THAN JUST A NUMBER "Ron does such a great job answering the question that has baffl ed many learning professionals for years: How do we measure and demonstrate the value of training. Applying his methodology of ROI is inspiring in that the exercise helps to translate training activities into improved performance and, ultimately, tangible business outcomes, rather than mere calculation of numbers."― JUDY FENG, Director, Talent Management, Baxter Asia Pacific "Those who have criticized ROI will be pleased with Stone’s ROI Quality Analysis (RQA).

― MERIBETH GERMINO, Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy, Biopharmaceutical Industry Leadership Development Executive 
"The uniqueness of this book is that it will benefit any leader who wants to transform the organization through training solutions totally focused on alignment with performance through integrating training with individual development and business goals."― VIDYADHAR S. DABHOLKAR, Head of Human Resource Development, HILTI Manufacturing India Pvt. Ltd. The financial crisis and ensuing recession permanently changed how business is conducted. Executives and other decision makers, pressured to accomplish higher goals with lower budgets, are demanding greater levels of accountability from their people. And when it comes to investing in business processes, they want quantifiable proof that any new initiative will contribute to solving problems, serving customers, and improving the business. The Real Value of Training gives you the tools not only to prove that your program will deliver solutions; it goes one step further, so you can explain exactly how much it will deliver. Presented by training ROI expert Ron Stone, The Real Value of Training offers an 11-step process for qualitatively and quantitatively measuring the value of training. Stone's methodology brings ROI to a new level of scrutiny and credibility by helping you successfully:
<ul>
<li>Collect critical performance data </li>
<li>Analyze results and adjust for causal influence and sustained impact </li>
<li>Assign a monetary value to business-outcome data </li>
<li>Calculate the fully loaded cost of the solution design </li>
<li>Calculate the ROI and its level of quality </li>
<li>Predict and quantify performance improvement</li>
</ul>
Using Stone's groundbreaking methods, you will create a training program that is powerful but flexible enough to refocus at a moment's notice, so it remains aligned with the organization’s interests, no matter what happens―whether it's another economic meltdown or a shift in business strategy. Take your training ROI to a new level of credibility! With The Real Value of Training, you have everything you need to verify that your training solution is directly aligned with business strategy and to determine and communicate its ultimate value to the organization.

WILEY & CANDACE STONE are the roots from which our individual family trees sprout. As our nation grew, so did our family and its stories. Along with family sheets and photos are stories of Wiley being orphaned by age five and over a hundred years later his descendants crossing the plains between Arkansas and Oregon. Through wars epidemics, the loss of lives, and braving the hardships of frontier life, they survived.  One of his sons, William Pitchford Stone, lived to be nearly one-hundred years old, and his life was celebrated by the entire community at his graveside, decades after he was deceased.  Another family member, Willard Stone, became a world-renowned artist and sculptor, with his works being exhibited in the Smithsonian Institute at our nation's capital.  Farmers, spinners (and we have photos of Mary Etta Stone with her spinning wheel), preachers, vagabonds, and even a tinsmithy--their occupations and interests were as varied as the places they lived.   Even if you're of no relation to the family, there's a treasure trove of history within these pages. We have maps of our country at various stages of its growth. There are photos of modes of travel, from steamships to conestoga wagons.   Interested in the American Civil War? We've included photocopies of one Confederate soldier's admission record as a wounded soldier, plus his pardon by the Union after the battle of Vicksburg.  Want to know what clothing was worn during various decades? We have that, too, including a Native American dress, soldier's uniforms, and ladies' under garments.  What started as individual genealogy searches ended in a concise, descriptive, sometimes humorous and often tragic compilation of history and family. We hope you join us in our journeys.
