Breaking Ground
It all started when the company's learning team approached TiER1 for help
evaluating a key program intended to provide foundational training for shovel
supervisors in one of their mines.

Insights
by Heather Cole and Alex Brierley
How a Canadian energy company upskilled their learning
team and built a model program evaluation in nine months
Learning initiatives fuel strategic progress. Leaders need actionable, timely
information about program impact to keep their goals on track.
However, many organizations lack effective learning evaluation programs that
could provide these insights. Of the 556 respondents to the 2023 Learning
Trends Survey, just 5 percent report that they generally use researchsupported
evaluation practices, while 64 percent feel unable to do the kinds
of learning evaluation that they want to do.1
This is the story of how one company developed both the capabilities
of their learning team and a suite of powerful evaluation tools in
less than nine months.
about the authors
Heather Cole is a Senior Learning Consultant at TiER1
Performance. She believes in building memorable
experiences that help people reach their goals and do their
best work. With a background in instructional design and
education, Heather brings valuable perspective and a unique
suite of skills to performance challenges. Heather also loves
reading, hiking, and acrylic paint pouring.
With more than 20 years of experience in corporate, public,
and non-profit sectors, Alex Brierley has had the opportunity
to develop, design, and deliver learning experiences for
topics ranging from systems and software to web design and
life skills. Curious by nature, she seeks new ways to help
learners understand and apply the principles and skills they
need to be successful. Outside work, Alex loves to
paddleboard, ski, hike, and ride anything with two wheels
from bicycles to motorcycles. She also has a weakness for
pizza and electronic music.
To get the most from the partnership, we adopted a hybrid model where the
company's team could learn from and work alongside Will Thalheimer, PhD, MBA,
an internationally recognized learning evaluation expert and author of an awardwinning
book on learning evaluation. Through this hybrid model with TiER1, the
team would come away with several things:
* Actionable, high-impact insights to improve the pilot course
* The skills to repeat this process for other courses
* Valuable experience with this learning evaluation approach to share with
others across the company
