Traps in Needs Assessment
Focusing only on individual performance deficiencies Doesn’t fix group of systemic
problemsStarting with a “Training Needs Assessment” If you know training is needed, why
waste everyone’s time?

Traps in Needs Assessment – 2
Using Questionnaires Hard to control input, often high
developmental costs, hard to write properlyUsing soft data (opinions) only Need performance and consequence data
Using hard data only Easily measured data is provided, but
critical, hard-to-measure data is missing

Levels of AssessmentOrganization Where is training needed and under
what conditions?Task What must be done to perform the
job effectively?Person Who should be trained and how?

Strategic/Organizational Analysis
A broad, “systems” view is neededNeed to identify: Organizational goals Organizational resources Organizational climate Environmental constraints

Werner & DeSimone (2006) 13
Why Strategic Assessment is Needed
Ties HRD programs to corporate or organizational goalsStrengthens the link between profit and HRD actionsStrengthens corporate support for HRDMakes HRD more of a revenue generator Not a profit waster
