talenttrends Training Impact

Know what breaks before you change it. Every curriculum, every prerequisite, every affected learner — one dashboard.

talenttrends Training Impact gives LMS administrators and L&D professionals the view of everything that depends on a training — training models, curricula, prerequisites, pre- and post-work, equivalences — in one table, with affected-user counts, a criticality score and an interactive relationship graph. Live from the talenttrends Data Hub. No more clicking through admin pages, training by training.

The problem

Change impact analy­sis today means: open­ing every train­ing one by one

This train­ing is being retired — which cur­ric­u­la build on it? How many learn­ers does the replace­ment affect? Cor­ner­stone knows the answer: every assign­ment to mod­els and cur­ric­u­la, every pre­req­ui­site, every equiv­a­lence is stored in the sys­tem. But the infor­ma­tion is scat­tered across the admin pages of the indi­vid­ual train­ings. Any­one who wants to assess the con­se­quences of a change opens every train­ing one by one — or main­tains an Excel list that is out of date the moment it is saved.

Every dependency, a different page

Cur­ric­u­la here, pre­req­ui­sites there, equiv­a­lences some­where else again. For the com­plete pic­ture of a sin­gle train­ing: five or six click paths — per training.

Affected users? Unknown.

Whether ten learn­ers or ten thou­sand hang on a depen­den­cy, no stan­dard view will tell you. Yet that is exact­ly what deter­mines how risky a change is.

No risk measure for changes

Which train­ings are the most inter­con­nect­ed, where is a change most dan­ger­ous? With­out a met­ric, pri­ori­tis­ing cat­a­logue clean-ups remains gut feeling.

The relationship network stays invisible

The pre­req­ui­site of the pre­req­ui­site, the cur­ricu­lum inside the cur­ricu­lum: nest­ed struc­tures are prac­ti­cal­ly impos­si­ble to trace in Cornerstone.

What you see with it

Six depen­den­cy types, one score, one graph

Instead of six click paths, one overview: every train­ing with every­thing that depends on it — which train­ing mod­els and cur­ric­u­la con­tain it, which train­ings require it as a pre­req­ui­site, where it is assigned as pre- or post-work, which com­ple­tions it ful­fils as an equiv­a­lent. Every depen­den­cy with its count and affect­ed users, every train­ing with a crit­i­cal­i­ty rating.

The dependency table

One row per train­ing, six counter columns: train­ing mod­els, cur­ric­u­la, pre­req­ui­sites, pre-work, post-work, equiv­a­lences — every cell with count and num­ber of affect­ed users. Sort­ed by crit­i­cal­i­ty in descend­ing order, fil­ter­able by any col­umn, export­ed to Excel in one click.

The criticality score

0 to 100, four traf­fic-light lev­els from Low to Crit­i­cal: 60% struc­ture — cur­ric­u­la and mod­els weigh more than equiv­a­lences —, 40% reach via affect­ed users. No black box: the deriva­tion sits in a tooltip on every row.

The relationship graph

One click on a train­ing opens its rela­tion­ship net­work: adjustable depth, rela­tion­ship types shown or hid­den via the leg­end, every node one click away from becom­ing the new root. This is how you walk through struc­tures no table can show.

Detail & jump-back

One click on a num­ber shows the list behind it — for train­ing mod­els includ­ing active/​published sta­tus, for ILT auto­mat­i­cal­ly resolved as event → ses­sion instead of cryp­tic IDs. And every entry links via pen­cil icon straight into Cor­ner­stone administration.

How it works

Con­nect, embed, assess

01

Connect

Train­ing Impact con­nects to your Cor­ner­stone por­tal via the offi­cial Cor­ner­stone data inter­faces — either via direct API access or via the tal­ent­trends inte­gra­tion from the Cor­ner­stone Edge Mar­ket­place. Cat­a­logue, struc­ture and tran­script data land in the tal­ent­trends Data Hub, which Train­ing Impact works on.

02

Embed

Embed­ded in your Cor­ner­stone por­tal as a cus­tom page. Sin­gle sign-on via Cor­ner­stone itself — no sec­ond login. You deter­mine who may see Train­ing Impact via the vis­i­bil­i­ty rules of the cus­tom page — rec­om­mend­ed: LMS admin­is­tra­tion and L&D.

03

Assess

On open­ing, the cat­a­logue-wide overview loads: every train­ing with at least one depen­den­cy, sort­ed by crit­i­cal­i­ty in descend­ing order. Nar­row down via full-text search across all por­tal lan­guages or via the fil­ter builder — includ­ing your cus­tom fields; your last fil­ter is saved. Where a change is due: open the details, explore the graph, jump into Cor­ner­stone admin­is­tra­tion with one click. For cat­a­logue reviews: export the fil­tered view to Excel.

The technology

Cat­a­logue-wide, read-only, no black box

Train­ing Impact runs in pro­duc­tive Cor­ner­stone projects where we take respon­si­bil­i­ty our­selves. This is what’s behind it.

Live from the Data Hub

Train­ing Impact works against your repli­cat­ed data foun­da­tion, not against Cor­ner­stone live APIs. No API throt­tling, no rate lim­its, full per­for­mance even dur­ing Cor­ner­stone main­te­nance windows.

Read-only and parameterised

A fixed, ver­sioned query cat­a­logue that ships with the appli­ca­tion — not gen­er­at­ed at run­time, not syn­the­sised by an AI, not change­able via the inter­face. Strict­ly read-only. Train­ing Impact can­not change data under any circumstances.

No model, no AI

Train­ing Impact esti­mates noth­ing and gen­er­ates noth­ing — it eval­u­ates your Cor­ner­stone struc­tures deter­min­is­ti­cal­ly. The crit­i­cal­i­ty score is a dis­closed for­mu­la, not an AI judge­ment: same data, same result, repro­ducible at any time.

Fast even catalogue-wide

The cat­a­logue-wide overview com­putes with a sin­gle tran­script aggre­ga­tion instead of one per depen­den­cy; details are loaded on demand and remem­bered per train­ing. Train­ing Impact brings its own data­base index­es and cre­ates them auto­mat­i­cal­ly in the Data Hub — no man­u­al DBA work.

Honest at the limits

Very large result sets and graphs are capped vis­i­bly — notice ban­ners instead of silent trun­ca­tion. And the advanced fil­ter is trans­lat­ed into para­me­terised queries: any­thing that can­not be trans­lat­ed safe­ly is reject­ed rather than silent­ly broadened.

No third party, no data leak

Table and graph ren­der via a sin­gle authen­ti­cat­ed chan­nel — Train­ing Impact even ships the graph engine local­ly. No third-par­ty CDN fetch­es, no teleme­try leaks, no trans­mis­sion of data to third-par­ty services.

Prerequisites

What you should coor­di­nate with us

Train­ing Impact is a gov­er­nance tool for the train­ing cat­a­logue — and dis­plays not a sin­gle piece of per­son­al infor­ma­tion: no names, no email address­es, no indi­vid­ual tran­scripts. Users appear exclu­sive­ly as aggre­gat­ed counts. Three points that we clar­i­fy togeth­er with you dur­ing onboarding.

Cornerstone setup

Train­ing Impact needs data access to your Cor­ner­stone por­tal — either via acti­vat­ed Cor­ner­stone data inter­faces and a ded­i­cat­ed ser­vice account, or via the tal­ent­trends inte­gra­tion from the Cor­ner­stone Edge Mar­ket­place. The rela­tion­ship and struc­ture data — the heart of the app — comes from the Cor­ner­stone Data Exporter; we coor­di­nate the set­up togeth­er with you.

Narrow down the audience

Train­ing Impact is a cat­a­logue-wide admin tool, not a team dash­board. Via the vis­i­bil­i­ty rules of the cus­tom page, you lim­it access to LMS admin­is­tra­tion and L&D — not least because the edit links lead into Cor­ner­stone admin­is­tra­tion, where Cor­ner­stone’s own per­mis­sion checks apply.

Consider co-determination

In Ger­many, intro­duc­ing a tech­ni­cal sys­tem can trig­ger co-deter­mi­na­tion rights for the works coun­cil. Because Train­ing Impact shows only cat­a­logue struc­tures and aggre­gat­ed user counts — no per­for­mance or behav­iour­al data of indi­vid­u­als — the scope is con­sid­er­ably small­er than for team-focused appli­ca­tions. The con­tract nev­er­the­less stip­u­lates: Train­ing Impact is a tool for cat­a­logue gov­er­nance, not for per­son­nel deci­sions. We pro­vide the documentation.

Deployment
