Webinar: Does Training Work? Measuring the impact of your training investment

Includes a practical framework you can use to measure training impact

Honeycomb Consulting Skills Training run regular webinars and workshops. These provide an open opportunity to experience some of our training content and benefit directly from the guidance of our MDs and/or senior trainers. However, we recognise that life is busy and attending in person isn’t always feasible, so we make the webinar recordings freely available here. If you’d rather listen than watch, the audio can be accessed as a podcast through all major podcast apps instead. Just search ‘The Skilled Consultant podcast’.

To explore how Honeycomb can support you to develop the skills of your team please visit our website - Honeycomb Consulting Skills Training - where you will find information and multiple ways to get in touch with us.


This webinar, led by Deri Hughes (Founder and MD of Honeycomb Consulting) and Jamie Garner (Impact Analytics Expert), explores how to effectively measure and maximise the impact of learning and development initiatives, particularly in consulting firms.

It includes live Q&A segments, demonstrations of actual measurement tools, and detailed analysis of real (anonymised) training program data. This combines to provide concrete examples of the principles in action. Valuable content for L&D professionals, consulting firm leaders, and anyone responsible for training program effectiveness.
