ROI - TCO White Papers
A Fresh Look at Return on Investment
Overview The traditional conception of ROI is obsolete. The Internet has changed everything. Astute training managers employ business metrics, not Kirkpatrick’s famous four levels. Managers of business units value time more than ROI. Major decisions are based on descriptive business cases, not pro forma budgets. Senior executives are more interested in the top line (dramatic growth from new markets and innovation) than the bottom line (the accounting fiction of “profits”). The paper provides a fresh look at ROI in this information age.
