Abstract: A system and method for return on investment are provided for determining the value of a performance enhancing program utilizing iterate data collection which better measures objectives achieved by participants in the program, measured in the form of a return on the investment. The investment can be defined by the costs and benefits associated with undertaking the program and conducting a study which measures the value of the program. The system and method are incorporated with a data progressing system which allows transfer and manipulation of the large amount of data, and also enables the method to be achieved even though participants may be geographically dispersed. A number of reports and visual data may be created by the data processing system which helps participants and their managers to visualize the impact of the program on their organization.
