ResultsLab - Ripples Webworks

Prove Learning Impact – Portfolio, Dashboards, Evidence.

Move beyond “completion rates” and quantify real behaviour change.

Overview

ResultsLab is a powerful tool that transforms learning into action – and action into measurable results. It was designed to tackle a critical question in training and coaching: “Are people actually using what they learned, and did it make a difference?” With ResultsLab, organizations can follow through after any learning intervention and capture exactly how participants apply new knowledge in their day-to-day work. The platform encourages participants to share stories of change, provides a social space for ongoing discussion, and delivers hard data on training effectiveness. In other words, ResultsLab ensures no training program ever becomes a “one-and-done” event; it closes the loop by blending practical application with feedback and metrics. This aligns with our mission as an L&D solutions partner – helping clients not just deliver training, but also cement real behavioral change and prove impact.

Key Features

Follow-Through Event Creation

ResultsLab makes it simple for L&D teams or coaches to set up follow-through events linked to a training or coaching session. For example, after a leadership workshop, you can create a 30-day follow-through event in the system. Participants will be invited to that event where they’ll be guided to implement specific ideas or answer key questions about how they applied the training. This planning takes just minutes and ensures every program has an intentional post-training phase.

Action Response Capture

During the follow-through period, participants submit “action responses” – concrete examples or short narratives describing what they did differently after the training. Maybe a sales rep shares how they tried a new negotiation tactic from the training in a client meeting, or a manager describes using a feedback model with their team. These responses are captured in a structured yet user-friendly way (often prompted by questions or challenges set by the trainer). Over time, each participant builds a collection of mini success stories, and the organization amasses a library of how ideas taught are being put into practice.

Social Learning & Sharing

The platform isn’t just a one-way report system; it’s an interactive community. Participants can read each other’s action responses (unless marked private) and engage by commenting or “liking.” Trainers and managers can also chime in, offering praise, further advice, or asking probing follow-up questions. This social aspect creates an environment where learners motivate each other – “If my peers are applying this, I should try it too” – and also learn from each other’s experiences. It effectively turns isolated post-training efforts into a collaborative team sport of continuous improvement.

Comprehensive Impact Reports

ResultsLab provides robust reporting that quantifies learning impact in ways never possible before. You get intuitive graphs and stats: for instance, what percentage of participants have submitted at least one action story, how many total action attempts have been logged, average number of attempts per person, etc. It also breaks down which specific ideas or skills from the training are getting the most traction (e.g., “80% of the cohort applied Skill A within 4 weeks, but only 30% applied Skill B”). Qualitative insights are captured too – the system can highlight common themes or frequently cited outcomes from the narratives. These reports can be exported or presented to leadership, finally putting concrete numbers and stories behind the notion of “training effectiveness.”

Manager & Stakeholder Dashboard

For each follow-through event, designated stakeholders (like the participants’ managers or an executive sponsor of the program) have a special view. They can see an overview of activity: who’s actively engaging, who might need a nudge, and what general progress looks like. They can filter to their team members to focus on relevant input. This transparency encourages managers to actively support and coach their employees during the implementation phase. It also signals to employees that leadership cares about follow-up, not just attendance – which further boosts accountability.

Knowledge Retention & Memory Bank

Over multiple training programs, ResultsLab builds an “organizational memory” of applied learning. All those shared solutions and success stories become a knowledge repository. New employees or participants in future programs can look back at past cohorts’ insights (if made available) to gain ideas. Essentially, the platform helps preserve the valuable tacit knowledge that usually dissipates after training. Instead of everyone forgetting what happened, you have a recorded legacy of improvements and innovations sparked by your L&D efforts.

Why ResultsLab?

Creates Accountability and Ownership

When participants share what they did, it inherently creates a sense of responsibility. They take ownership of implementing their learnings because they know they’ll be reporting back – not in a punitive way, but as a positive challenge. Plus, seeing one’s name next to a success story in the system can be a point of pride and a record of personal growth. This dynamic fosters greater accountability than typical post-training surveys or waiting until a yearly review to ask “did you use that training?”.

Data-Driven L&D Strategy

For L&D managers and HR, having a wealth of application data means you can make strategic, data-driven decisions. For example, if ResultsLab data shows that a particular training consistently yields low application rates, you might reconsider that training’s content or delivery. Conversely, if another program yields strong behavior changes, you can double down on it or explore what makes it successful. Over time, you build a cycle of feedback that fine-tunes your entire learning portfolio for maximum impact.

Trusted by Learning Leaders

ResultsLab has been adopted and praised by forward-thinking HR and L&D leaders in various industries. Their testimonials highlight how it removes the tedious manual follow-up burden (no more chasing people for updates via email or spreadsheets) and how it provides unprecedented visibility. It’s not just a tech product; it’s a methodology for ensuring training delivers – one that has proven effective in real corporate environments. When you implement ResultsLab, you’re not venturing into untested waters; you’re leveraging a solution with a track record of helping organizations make learning stick.

Who It’s For

Organizations Committed to Training ROI

If your company invests significantly in training, coaching, or change initiatives, ResultsLab is for you. It’s ideal for organizations that don’t want training to be a checkbox, but a driver of tangible improvement. Sectors like finance, IT, manufacturing, and retail have all used ResultsLab to ensure critical trainings (leadership development, compliance, sales training, etc.) actually hit the mark.

Learning & Development Managers

Professionals who design and rollout training programs and are accountable for their success. ResultsLab becomes their go-to ally – they can easily track the post-training phase without resorting to manual surveys. It saves them time and gives them insight. They can also showcase success stories from the platform in their internal newsletters or town halls, giving L&D initiatives more visibility and recognition.

External Training Providers

If you’re a training vendor or consultant offering programs to clients, ResultsLab can be a value-add service. It allows you to offer a “sustainment” solution in addition to your training sessions. By monitoring how participants from your client companies apply what you taught, you can provide extra coaching, measure the effectiveness of your content, and strengthen your client relationships (because you’re helping ensure the client sees ROI).

Change Management Programs

Beyond formal training, even organizations driving culture change or new initiatives (like a new performance management system, or a safety campaign) can use ResultsLab. Any scenario where you need people to adopt new behaviors over time fits the platform. The tool will track adoption, surface success examples, and help change leaders see where additional reinforcement is needed.
