Effective Training Needs Analysis(ppt49)

Once the identification of training needs of total organization or by department, team or individual has been completed, the next stage is to analyze the results so that priorities can be determined by:
Examining the corporate / organization / business plan and draw out the general themes, e.g. new market, new product, a strategic decision to improve or focus on customer service.
Considering if there are needs which, if not met, will severely inhibit the attainment of company objectives, e.g. technical issues, high staff turnover or absenteeism due to insufficient development opportunities.
Arranging the needs in terms of a “wish” list and a “have to” list with consideration of the corporate objectives, and decide whether the need is urgent, or important, or urgent & important in order to give a timescale (short-term or long-term).
