Case Study: PinnacleART achieves $189,390 in savings and recovers 2,880 man-hours with LinkedIn Learning

How PinnacleART Proved the ROI of Online Learning An Impact Survey

PinnacleART, a Houston-based asset reliability firm serving oil & gas, petrochemical, wastewater, electric power, mining and fertilizer industries, rolled out LinkedIn Learning to meet strong employee demand for on‑demand development. Six months after launch executives wanted proof of impact — not just usage metrics — to justify the investment and show the platform’s effect on both individual growth and business outcomes.

PinnacleART combined a financial comparison (PMP® prep via LinkedIn Learning vs. in‑person courses) with an internal impact survey; the company found $189,390 in cost savings and 2,880 man‑hours saved for one use case, while 88% of employees said they could immediately apply what they learned and 41% said it prepared them for advanced roles. The survey convinced skeptics, drove deeper integration into onboarding and development programs, and led PinnacleART to renew LinkedIn Learning while continuing to boost engagement.
