CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF TALENT DEVELOPMENT REPORTING PRINCIPLES (TDRp)

Join us for the CTR Conference as we celebrate the ten-year anniversary of TDRp and CTR. The day will be dedicated to an in-depth exploration of measurement, reporting, and TDRp, including the history, evolution, current state, accomplishments, challenges and future. It will be an opportunity for old friends to get together and reflect on far we have come, but it will also be an opportunity to share TDRp with those who are new to it or are not aware of the changes made in the last five years.

For those unfamiliar with TDRp, this is the culmination of an effort begun in 2010 to bring standards for measurement and reporting to L&D in particular and HR in general. Our inspiration was the set of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) used by accountants in the United States, which provides guidance on names and definitions of measures, three standard statements, and best practices. Bottomline, our goal has been to provide the same kind of framework for our profession, coupled with guidance on how to run learning and HR with business-like discipline to produce greater value.

We are a young profession with analytics and reporting for L&D younger still. Join us as we come together for a day to celebrate our progress and reflect on where we have been and where we need to go. The format will be more conversational than a typical virtual conference and is structured to include multiple break-out sessions so you can connect with others and discuss topics of importance to us all.

Conference Format

This year’s event is a day-long conversation on measurement, reporting, and Talent Development Reporting principles. Dave Vance, CTR Executive Director and Peggy Parskey, CTR Assistant Director will introduce agenda topics, sharing both their insights and expertise on each topic. There will be multiple breakout sessions to encourage deeper discussion and sharing.

The conference will be held on Zoom. Registration is required. Click the register button on the main navigation to register. There is no fee to attend our conference.
