A framework for measuring the impact of the Monterey Navy Corporate Business Course on the Navy
Abstract
The need exists to improve the Navy Corporate Business Course (NCBC) evaluation procedures, which have evolved on a rather ad hoc basis. There may be redundancies as well as gaps in the current system. Further, as with all Navy programs, all stakeholders need to have a clear understanding of the returns for the Navy investment in the NCBC. A means for demonstrating the impact of the NCBC after participants leave the course and have a chance to apply what they have learned does not currently exist. The objectives of this study were 1) to review and revise, as necessary, the current NCBC evaluation processes, and 2) to conduct research to determine how best to dress the issue of the returns of the Navy’s investment in this program.
