Our Mission
Our mission is to promote the adoption of Talent Development Reporting Principles (TDRP) as a framework for measurement and reporting. Founded in October 2012, the Center for Talent Reporting operates as a 501c6 not-for-profit organization. It is our vision that Talent Development Reporting principles are broadly accepted and widely employed as the world-class reporting standard for all human capital processes. Our members have access to a measures library with over 700 measures, and more than 60 sample statements and reports in excel. We have published two books on TDRP: Measurement Demystified and Measurement Demystified Field Guide.
TDRP is a measurement and reporting framework designed to help practitioners understand, define, communicate, select, report, analyze, and manage the key measures for their organization. It was developed in 2010-2012 by a group of industry thought leaders and practitioners who believed the time was right for learning to have a comprehensive framework like accountants have in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). TDRP has evolved since then into an even more comprehensive but still simple framework consisting of four broad reasons to measure, three types of measures and five types of reports along with guidance on how to select the right measures and reports as well as how to run L&D or HR like a business.
At Explorance, we believe that each experience matters. From students in higher education to employees at the workplace, feedback is vital for the lifelong learner’s journey. That’s why Explorance’s mission is to help organizations create a personalized journey of impact and fulfillment for their people through innovative Experience Management (XM) solutions.

We accomplish our mission by hosting monthly webinars on TDRP and other measurement and reporting topics like ISO standards for L&D metrics as well as human capital reporting, conducting open-enrollment and custom workshops on TDRP and ISO standards, publishing monthly blogs, writing articles and books on measurement and reporting, speaking at conferences and meetings, and conducting an annual conference or workshop on measurement and reporting. Our website includes a measures library with names, definitions and formulas for over 700 measures across all of HR and 170 just for L&D. It also includes a reports library with over 60 sample reports and a detailed description for each of the six key HR processes covered.
We have written two books on TDRP for learning and development: Measurement Demystified (2021, 431 pages) and Measurement Demystified Field Guide (2022, 375 pages). The first describes TDRP in detail and includes definitions for more than 100 L&D measures. The second provides application opportunities and additional insights, with more than 100 exercises. These two books are the definitive guide to TDRP.
The measures library contains over 700 measures for the six key HR processes and the reports library contains more than 60 sample reports covering all six processes. The six processes are L&D, Leadership Development, Talent Acquisition, Capability Management, Performance Management, and Total Rewards. The measures library includes the name, definition, formula and source (if available) for each measure as well as notes on similarities to other measures. The website contains a detailed description of each process with examples of measures and subcategories to make it easier to search for measures.
