SilkRoad’s GreenLight® Learning Management System Now Includes KnowledgeAdvisors’ Metrics that Matter® Starter Edition

Bundled offering to help companies measure and improve the performance of learning programs

CHICAGO--()--KnowledgeAdvisors today announced that learning industry leader SilkRoad will be bundling the Metrics that Matter® Starter Edition into their GreenLight learning management system (LMS).

The Metrics that Matter® Starter Edition is a simple, affordable system designed to evaluate the effectiveness of learning programs.

“Customers who utilize the SilkRoad and Knowledge Advisors products together will now be able to manage the performance of instructors, improve course content, trend the job impact of courses over time, and compare performance to other organizations in the industry who are delivering similar types of training,” said KnowledgeAdvisors CEO and Founder Kent Barnett.

Metrics that Matter® Starter Edition will also bring GreenLight customers the important context of benchmarks, allowing them to collect, store, process, and report crucial learning data—serving as a crucial quality control mechanism for learning programs.

In addition, the integration of Metrics that Matter® Starter Edition and GreenLight will allow companies to get rid of their paper evaluations and generic online survey tools and move up to a sophisticated learning evaluation tool used by the most successful training organizations in the world.

“With powerful, built-in benchmark data, SilkRoad customers will now be able to compare their talent investments to comparative data points in a visual and actionable manner,” said SilkRoad CEO John Shackleton.

Clients who use both SilkRoad and the full capabilities of Metrics that Matter® have already seen positive results through integration.

“Uncovering the ROI in our training programs has been instrumental in their overall success. Through the GreenLight and Metrics that Matter integration, we’re able to measure and track ROI on any given course to determine what updates should be made or even whether a course should be eliminated based on its impact on business results,” said Toni Thompson, Director of Employee and Organizational Development at SwedishAmerican.
