Dr Jack Phillips, Chairman of the ROI Institute and author of over 30 books on the value of learning, is set to address next month's Learning Technologies Conference, in London.

A world-renowned expert on measurement and evaluation, Phillips' background in training and HR led him to develop the ROI (return on investment) Process - a system that provides bottom-line figures and accountability for all types of training, performance improvement, human resources, and technology programs.

Using data from hundreds of cases gathered from the ROI Institute's work, Phillips will present some trends in measurement and evaluation, examine the key issues and challenges of implementation, dispel some myths about impact and ROI analysis, and identify the key steps involved in demonstrating the impact of learning and development.

Donald Taylor, Learning Technologies Conference Chair, said: "Dr Jack Phillips is the world's most well-known expert on measuring the ROI of learning. His work spans a lifetime of advising businesses and the learning industry on measuring and analysing the value of learning programmes and he has possibly authored more material on the subject than anyone else."

Learning Technologies 2006 Exhibition and Conference takes place at Olympia 2, London on January 25 and 26. For details of the full conference programme click here .
