Training Needs Analysis
What training can we apply now to reduce skill gaps and increase
the overall productivity of our people?
focus identifies the Right Training for the Right People
at the Right Time and Cost.
Training and Development needs analysis methodology has come a
long way in the past 15 years, but the following myths are still
widespread:
Myth 1: Our highest priority training needs are obvious
and easy to see
Myth 2: We can't afford to do training needs analysis
Identifying the most significant training priorities and optimising
development is very complex unless you have a lot of time and money
- OR focus. Good training needs analysis pays for itself
by increasing the ROI of training.
focus is unique in its capability to identify the right
training needs because it integrates so much information. focus
identifies priorities based on 5 important considerations:
- The importance/financial impact of each competency and
skill for each job.
- The required level of performance of each individual (everyone
does not need to be an expert).
- The actual level of performance of individuals.
- The impact of the individuals with each competency gap
(some people can, because of their position, help or hurt
you more than others).
- The number of individuals with a training gap.

Using focus training needs analysis reports puts your company
in a position to consider all of the alternatives and make wise,
defendable decisions.
