Measuring impact is notoriously difficult but without it, our profession cannot progress, and we won’t fulfil our potential. There is a huge role for Learning &amp; Development in the upskilling and reskilling efforts required to plug the skills gap, but we won’t do that without holding ourselves accountable for actual impact. In this episode - and first in a mini-series on L&amp;D impact - our panel explores what this means and the practical steps it will take us to make a planned and meaningful impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Work out in advance how you are going to measure the outcomes. Get down to the brass tacks of what each department and person should be doing. Seek clarification, and ask what does that look like?  Often, it will take time to get proper answers. Communicate your success using stakeholder metrics and language. Use success case interviews and qualitative data.  BEST MOMENTS'What we're striving to do then is show that our training or learning interventions can impact on some business metric.
