Business works

Positions

Return on Learning

While Director of Performance Measurement at Accenture,[7] Waddington was co-author of Return on Learning: Training for High Performance at Accenture (Agate, 2007).[8] The book tells how Accenture's training organization revitalized training and proved its value. To prove the value of training, Waddington performed an in-depth statistical analysis of detailed records on the 261,000 people who have ever worked for the company. These records include information such as cost rates, bill rates, total time with the organization, and promotion date. Accenture factored out the effects of personnel level, experience, inflation, and business cycles.

The analysis showed that employees who take more training (top 50% relative to bottom 50%):[9]

  • are 17 percent more chargeable
  • have 20 percent higher bill rates (due to promotions)
  • stay with the company 14 percent longer.

These combined benefits yielded a net return on the investment of training of 3.53. For every dollar Accenture invested in training, there is a return of $3.53 in net benefits, after costs are recovered.

Waddington is the owner of US Patent #8244576, "Calculating the benefit of an investment in training".[10]

Lasting Contribution

Waddington is the author of Lasting Contribution: How to Think, Plan, and Act to Accomplish Meaningful Work.[1] This self-help business book was published by Agate in 2008.

Recognition

Lasting Contribution has won the following awards:

  • USABookNews National Best Books Award[11]
  • Axiom Business Book Awards [12]
  • Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold [12]
  • Eric Hoffer Award[13]
  • Pinnacle Book Achievement Award [14]
  • National Indie Excellence Award [15]
  • Global Ebook Award, Gold [16]
Kirkus Reviews described Lasting Contribution as:[17]

A self-help guide that assembles scholarly and scientific material to illustrate why things happen, why people act and how those people can plan actions that make a difference. Unlike the average motivational guru who seems to have read a single book-the one he or she has just written-Waddington has read them all, so readers will learn what ancient thinkers, religious leaders, modern scientists and rival motivational guides teach about human behavior....

This thin volume contains wisdom, scientific facts and insights from great figures, all in the service of planning a meaningful future. A thought-provoking work that bears rereading.

Waddington's work on measuring return on investment in training, featured in Return on Learning, won the following awards:

  • Corporate University Xchange Award for Excellence in Measurement, awarded to Accenture in 2010[18]
  • Chief Learning Officer Magazine's Impact Award, awarded to Accenture in 2004[19]
  • Accenture's Inventor Award{{citation needed|date=August 2017}}
  • Gold award from Brandon Hall for Accenture’s Best Practice for Determining ROI{{citation needed|date=August 2017}}
  • American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) Best Award{{citation needed|date=August 2017}}
