Zagreb, Croatia, May 26, 2026 — eWyse, a globally recognized strategic e-learning partner, has introduced REA (Return on Expectations Alignment), a first-of-its-kind AI-guided process that defines measurable success criteria for learning initiatives before implementation begins.
REA is specifically designed to address the expectation gap between stakeholders in corporate L&D, providing learning and development managers with a structured, evidence-based approach to directly align training investments with performance goals.
REA serves as a strategic tool for training and business alignment
eWyse has been in the training development business for over 10 years and has found that the fundamental requirements for successful training are often overlooked. The root cause is a misalignment between leadership expectations, business goals, and L&D initiatives. Recent industry data shows that 75% of leaders who think their training programs are ineffective actually spend money on them.
This is where REA steps in as a strategic solution. Training initiatives become leader-driven systems that integrate learning into business strategy. Before designing learning, REA brings leaders, managers, L&D, and target learners through a structured alignment process to answer three key questions:
What are the desired business outcomes? How will they be measured? Who is responsible for the results?
In the webinar “From Training to Business Impact: How to Align Learning with Strategy and Prove ROI,” Mario details how to position L&D as a strategic driver of business growth. That’s where REA steps in to establish clear KPIs, align stakeholder expectations, and create a governance structure where both the L&D team and leadership are collectively accountable for results.
REA was founded to solve a $400 billion problem
$400 billion is spent on corporate learning each year, yet only 8% of CEOs report measurable ROI. (Source: Freifeld, L. 2025 Training Industry Report. Training Magazine, November 2025, Market Report Analysis. Global Corporate Workforce Development Training Market Trends 2025-2033. January 2026.)
After training more than 100 learning and development managers on how to measure training effectiveness, eWyse founder Mario Brujan realized the inefficiencies in their existing processes. REA was developed to address the lack of tools that can actually make the entire process smooth, fast, and effective.
REA streamlines the process. Each stakeholder takes just 25-35 minutes to participate in a structured interview, and a full analysis is provided within 5-10 business days.
The result is a decision pack report that aligns expectations across all stakeholder levels, success defined in measurable business terms, and clear go/revise/stop recommendations for training development.
REA finally brings attention to training
Learning has frequently been used as a means to improve performance, but the results have been unsatisfactory. REA ultimately becomes important by providing a framework to make the most of it and bridge the gap between training and business strategy.
When training is designed with expectations and real-world outcomes in mind, and is built for practical use by learners, you can achieve your business goals without additional or unnecessary spending.
