Coursera for Business delivers 327% ROI: key findings from new Forrester Total Economic Impact study
The article by Karine Allouche outlines the findings of a Forrester study regarding the economic impact of Coursera for Business on companies using it for employee training. The study suggests a remarkable 327% return on investment (ROI) over three years for organizations implementing this platform, attributing the financial gains to several factors. The study highlights $4.85 million in total-value savings and specific strategies for achieving these returns, such as saving $4.2 million through prebuilt Coursera courses which streamline training processes, and $918,000 from productivity gains via skill development. It emphasizes the rapid ROI payback period of under six months. Despite the ongoing digital transformation, a gap in digital skills remains; thus, businesses must invest in training to harness the potential $15.7 trillion economic benefits of generative AI.
