Editor's note
=============
Godfrey Parkin grapples with evaluation this week, or rather the
pursuit of trying to boil the value of training down to pounds
and pence. In his words: "The pursuit of the measurement of ROI
in training is often a red herring that distracts from the
qualitative impacts that our work has on the performance of the
business."
Whether the mere thought of ROI brings you out in a cold sweat,
or you would never evaluate any other way, it's a column not to
be missed!
