Talent Development Reporting principles (TDRp) is an industry-led initiative to better manage learning and development in particular and all key talent processes in general. Application of TDRp will enable you to improve the bottom-line results of your company more effectively and efficiently. In particular, TDRp will help you and your organization:

• Identify your key company goals.
• Align learning to these key company goals and establish the expected impact of your initiatives on business outcomes.
• Identify, report, and manage the most important effectiveness and efficiency measures for your key initiatives.
• Manage key initiatives through the year to deliver planned results.

In brief, TDRp will enable you to run learning like a business. This means identifying the right learning and development programs, carefully planning those programs, collaboratively establishing goals with program sponsors and stakeholders, and executing with discipline throughout the year to ensure that the planned, agreed-upon results are delivered as effectively and efficiently as possible. This approach will allow you to deliver the greatest impact for your budget and will help you be viewed as a valued, strategic partner.
