The ROI Academy works with e-skills UK to measure the value of ITQ

UK (SANEPR.com) January 9, 2009 -- e-skills UK is aware of anecdotal evidence suggesting that the return on investment to an organisation that invests in the ITQ for staff can be substantial. Genny Dixon , programme manager at e-skills UK , said “We wanted to turn anecdotal evidence into hard facts to support the business case for ITQ. We chose The ROI Academy to do the work because they have a practical, business model approach to valuing training.”

Hedda Bird , Founder Director of The ROI Academy™ said “Even in the first stages of our work we have uncovered substantial benefit to the client from the ITQ. We are delighted to be contributing to a process that could lead to these benefits being widely taken up across the workforce.”
