Success Stories
What's distinctive and noteworthy about Predictive Evaluation is that it does take training evaluation to the "next level" that even Donald and James Kirkpatrick acknowledge in the Foreword of the book. For example, it adds the element of prediction and how to determine and make future training and evaluation investments. PE moves training evaluation from "activity based measures" to "value driven continuous improvement efforts" that ensure training investments provide their predicted value. It also involves training participants rather than leaving the training and evaluation planning to training and business leaders.
I particularly like how Dave strives to run training and evaluation like any other business function, and adhere to sound business practices. Training in PE, for example collects evaluation data to judge progress toward meeting business objectives and plans, and predicts (forecasts) training's contribution to those objectives and plans. Data is collected early and often according to defined success goals, and corrections are made at any point to improve or strengthen training.
