          Quotes:

          “We have tools that measure outcomes and then we have actual outcomes, and those two aren’t necessarily related.”

          “For some [L&D] goals, you’re going to be very specific with how you’re trying to move performance . . . that’s where you have to have a hypothesis [about the ROI].”
