Confirmative evaluation is a marriage of evaluation and continuous improvement. Unlike other types of evaluation—which are used during the design of a learning program or applied immediately after conducting a program—confirmative evaluation follows several months after the program is implemented. It tests the endurance of outcomes, the return on investment, and establishes the effectivenss, efficiency, impact, and value of the training over time.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eJoan Conway\u003c\/b\u003e Dessinger is founder of and senior consultant with The Lake Group, a performance improvement consulting firm.
