I'm Master student doing my thesis on Linking Training to strategy:
"Implementation and usage of strategic training management"
It would be kind support if some body give me some references
i have to do survey for this, measure strategic effectiveness
Case study or emprical study etc...
-how to measure effectiveness on specfic scale
-survey questions related to strategic-training would be more help full.
-references
some example and refernces would be more helpfull
Best Regards

Hello, iahmad, welcome to the cove!
Australia has some good materials for planing training in their industries. This one deals with construction: http://www.construction.nsw.gov.au/d...aining/tmg.pdf The evaluations within that document resemble audits of programs. Page 37 shows some more references.
Training effectiveness should be evaluated within the confines of those four levels. That is, an evaluation wouldn't mix personnel satisfaction with training (Level 1) with a Level 4 productive measure, such as a before and after measure such as the number of errors on a mortgage application.
This guide is from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management: http://www.opm.gov/hrd/lead/pubs/spguide.pdf Page 30 shows examples of specific performance indicators for assessing the strategic effectiveness of training. See page 44 for examples of measuring training's value, and 45-46 for strategic contribution. Page 47 shows some more references.

The opinion stated above does not necessarily reflect that of my employer.
Training effectiveness should be evaluated within the confines of those four levels. That is, an evaluation wouldn't mix personnel satisfaction with training (Level 1) with a Level 4 productive measure, such as a before and after measure such as the number of errors on a mortgage application.
In my experience, the Kirkpatrick training model is the most accepted theoretical
model for evaluation of training effectiveness. If you can't find info on this,
reply and ask and I can dig up a specific citation.
The key issue is that you can assess training from several points of view,
ranging from reaction - did the trainees like the training -- to relevance
to the business-- did the training permit the trainees to actually improve
their performance and meet the strategic objectives?
Hello
Thanks you for your suggetsion
training effectiveness per Kirkpatrick's methods is usefull for my thesis work
any other suggestion about preparing survey question for my thesis would be nice support for me.
again i repeat here my topic for thesis is
Linking Training to strategy:
"Implementation and usage of strategic training management"

I dare say most organizations do not have organized training systems, particularly enough so to keep records that link strategy to measurable results.
Doing surveys may thus be quite challenging, except for one potential field of interest: safety. There is at least as much data driven training in safety as there is in quality. Can you survey on training for safety, with strategy such as lowering mishap rates or the number of work hours lost to injuries?
OSHA and the U.S. Department of Labor, among others, has a well developed system of measuring training results against strategy, especially in areas such as equipment handling--like forklifts. This is why I pointed you to a report on this subject, available through an agency where there is much more data available.
I do not very well understand why you don't feel you are able to proceed. Maybe I don't know enough about your project and/or reporting requirements.
