Training Needs Analysis provides a systematic approach to identifying genuine learning and capability requirements before training resources are committed.
Participants learn to distinguish performance problems from training needs, collect and analyse evidence, examine organisational, role and individual requirements and prioritise development needs according to strategic importance.
The programme helps organisations avoid training that is disconnected from performance and instead build learning interventions based on clearly diagnosed capability gaps.
