Case Application: "Needs Assessment" Approach
The first step in the formal training process is to conduct a "needs assessment." Among other things, this involves a problem-solving approach in identifying the cause of the situation under consideration. Remember that 50% of successful problem solving is identifying the right problem. There are extensive writings on the subject of a "needs assessment" or "needs analysis," and many suggested approaches in conducting a successful assessment. Approaches vary depending upon the scope and nature of the situation, e.g., addressing an individual employee challenge or an organization-wide training need.
Think of a situation or challenge in your current organization (or another organization you have worked for in the past) that may benefit from a needs assessment. Briefly describe the situation. Recommend a needs assessment technique that would be appropriate for the situation. Briefly describe the technique and explain your rationale for recommending this technique over others.
