“ROI Revisited: Demonstrating The Business Case For Executive Education Programmes”

By Tom Ryan

This paper is intended to provoke a fresh discussion of executive programme evaluation within UNICON, within business schools, and with their clients with the aim of moving towards a more pragmatic and forward-looking approach to evaluation.

It suggests that schools and their clients would benefit from moving the focus towards projecting expected outcomes rather than reviewing outcomes after a programme has been completed.

To enable this forward-looking perspective, schools will need to properly understand and explore with their clients the drivers of programme outcomes.
