Baltimore, MD - November 14, 2010 -- Ronald J. Kantor, Ph.D. has joined forces with Zeroed-In Technologies as an evaluation strategist and senior learning architect. Dr. Kantor is a learning leader, with over twenty-five years in the field of education, corporate training and learning measurement. He has served as a senior vice president at Bank of America, a senior learning architect at Accenture and a manager of instructional design at Fannie Mae. Known for his innovative mind set and incisive problem solving abilities, in his earlier academic career, Dr Kantor was a member of the Cognition and Technology Group at Vanderbilt University and served as a NASA Faculty Fellow while a member of the instructional design department at the University of Houston. He is also a Northwestern School of Speech Fellow, received the prestigious James Nelson Raymond Traveling Fellowship from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and was a recipient of an Explorer grant from the Center for Advanced Visual Data Studies at M.I.T.
When asked why he joined Zeroed-In, Kantor said:
“Zeroed-In has the most cutting edge technology of any company in the current market for performing real time learning measurement and score carding to determine the impact of training. Having been in the training organizations of such great companies as Bank of America and Accenture or at high-powered government entities like NASA, I know how challenges around measuring the impact of learning are often constrained by a lack of resources and/or effective evaluation strategy. I’ve seen many somewhat successful attempts to apply the measurement frameworks of Kirkpatrick, Philips, Bersin or Brinkerhoff, but without the technology solutions provided by Zeroed-In’s Impact Suite™ you just can’t achieve the same degree of success in implementation. Most companies or organizations transform and aggregate their learning results using very time consuming manual processes that are frequently prone to error. The subsequent reports are slow to delivery and rarely provide actionable data beyond telling a business leader how much training has occurred. The Zeroed-In methodology, combined with the capabilities of Impact Dashboard and Impact Surveyor, provide rapidly accessible business intelligence that can be acted upon from both a strategic and tactical perspective. I’m proud to be associated with a company that has such a flexible and powerful tool set and that really understands how to leverage the strengths and weaknesses of all the Learning and Talent Management Systems on the market. “
Kantor’s first engagement with Zeroed-In is the creation and implementation of an enterprise-wide evaluation strategy for a large government entity. The entity is comprised of eighteen component organizations responsible for the education of over 500,000 resources accounting for over 32 million hours of training annually.
“It’s quite a challenge,” said Kantor, “but it just goes to show how well Zeroed-In’s Technologies can scale up, when necessary. It also demonstrates how well Zeroed-In’s solutions help facilitate the integration of data derived from different sources across a complex technology ecosystem. “
