Predictive Evaluation Book Update

 PE Book Cover

Feedback about my new book, Predictive Evaluation, has been overwhelmingly positive, and I'm so grateful for the comments, emails and support.  

I've also been energized by the great reaction from the press. I've been conducting media interviews and writing articles for prestigious magazines.  More information about my upcoming media coverage will follow soon. 

If you haven't already purchased a copy of Predictive Evaluation, now is the time to do so...  From now until February 10th you can get a 30% discount plus free shipping if you order Predictive Evaluation from Berrett-Koehler Publishers. Just click here and enter the discount code "basarab" when prompted during the checkout process.  You'll be asked for the discount code when you enter in your name and address, and you'll see the discount price before you finalize your order.

My new book spotlights my Predictive Evaluation (PE) Model, the first and only training and evaluation approach to add the element of prediction, and is a follow-up to my previous book The Training Evaluation Process. The PE model helps professionals who struggle to define training's success, justify training's value, and predict its return. Using the PE model, trainers and business leaders can now successfully predict training's results with value, intention, adoption and impact, allowing them to make smarter, more strategic training and evaluation investments. 

Predictive Evaluation, released by Berrett-Koehler Publishers, is available through a variety of online retailers, including Amazon.com, Barnes&NobleIndiebound, Powells.com, docstoc.com, and Berrett-Koehler Publishers.
