How Esek Minds Provides Level Four Value (ROI) That Is Measurable in Real Dollars

Esek Minds delivers Level Four Value, as defined by the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model, by showing measurable business impact and return on investment (ROI) in terms of dollars. Here's how:

What Is Level Four Value?

Level Four is the highest tier of training effectiveness. It measures:

  • Business results
  • Behavioral change at scale
  • Financial impact

Esek Minds' Level Four Value Framework

1. Turnkey KPI-Linked Training

Esek Minds ties all coaching and training initiatives (like Communication IQ) to business–critical KPIs, such as:

  • Productivity
  • Retention
  • Sales conversions
  • Time-to-resolution in conflict
  • Employee engagement scores

Example: A company implementing CIQ reduced miscommunication–related errors by 43%, resulting in a $128,000/year savings in rework and lost time.

2. Communication Cost Audit (Baseline & ROI Tool)

We provide a Communication Impact Audit before and after training, estimating the real cost of poor communication and the value of improvement.

We calculate:

  • Lost productivity from misunderstandings
  • Time wasted in meetings
  • Turnover due to unresolved conflict
  • Impact on sales, service, and speed

Case in Point: An HR team cut voluntary turnover by 15% within 6 months by applying Communication IQ. Projected savings: $187,500 based on average cost per hire.

3. Behavior Change That Sticks

Our Communication IQ methodology rewires team interaction patterns, not just surface behaviors.

We track:

  • Increased peer–to–peer clarity
  • Reduction in management bottlenecks
  • Shorter feedback cycles
  • Increased speed of decision–making

Sales team example: Call–to–close time decreased by 22%. A $1.5M sales funnel saw a $330,000 increase in close rate due to better prospect alignment.

4. Culture Impact as a Financial Multiplier

We install Communication as Culture Infrastructure—turning soft skills into hard savings by:

  • Decreasing attrition
  • Reducing internal conflict
  • Increasing collaboration

Organization-wide conflict resolution training yielded a 27% drop in HR intervention time, translating to $95,000 in HR labor savings annually.

Measurable ROI Equation

We calculate Level Four ROI using this formula:

ROI % = (Monetary Benefits – Program Costs) / Program Costs x 100

Example:

  • Program cost: $40,000
  • Savings & gains: $240,000
  • ROI = (240,000 – 40,000) / 40,000 x 100 = 500%
