74% Of L&D Pros Feel Pressure To Prove ROI. Only 11% Can.
iSpring's second annual ROI study surveyed more than 140 L&D professionals across five regions and found a 63-percentage-point gap between awareness and practice. Nearly three in four feel pressure to demonstrate return on investment, yet only about one in ten can actually do it, a number that hasn't changed since last year.
So why does the gap persist? According to the research, it isn't about tools. It comes down to four paradoxes: Passivity, Honesty, Expertise, and Involvement. And the teams that do prove ROI have something in common: they act like conductors, aligning stakeholders around measurable outcomes before building a single module.
In L&D as a Conductor, a free one-hour webinar on December 2 at 10:00 AM EST, Maria Starling, Lead Program Manager at iSpring, walks through the findings and what they mean for your team.
You'll learn:
- How L&D leaders design and launch programs that pay off
- How to overcome the four hidden barriers to ROI uncovered in iSpring's 2026 ROI Playbook research
- How to diagnose your team's maturity level and identify the most effective next step
- How L&D leaders have connected training to measurable business outcomes
- How to make line managers, finance teams, and other stakeholders your measurement partners
If you're being asked to show the business impact of learning, and want a clearer plan for doing it, this session gives you the data and the playbook to start.
All attendees receive a certificate of attendance and the webinar recording.
