Needs Analysis

Making sales begins with establishing relationships, exploring strategies, and defining solutions. The key is to identify the gap between the current situation and the desired situation and then focusing resources where they’re most needed. The needs analysis is the basis for wise recommendations about instruction, supporting organizational strategies and for enlisting support throughout the organization.

The needs analysis will allow our consultant to discuss the following topics with you:

• Problems or deficits. Are there problems in your organization that might be solved by training or other activities?
• Impending change. Are there problems that do not currently exist but are foreseen due to changes, such as new processes and equipment, outside competition, and/or changes in staffing?
• Opportunities. Can your organization gain a competitive edge by taking advantage of new technologies, training programs, consultants or suppliers?
• Strengths. How can your business take advantage of organizational strengths, as opposed to reacting to weaknesses?
• New directions. Can your enterprise take a proactive approach, applying best-practice techniques to new levels of performance? Could team building and related activities help improve your productivity?
• Mandated training. Are there internal or external forces dictating that training and/or organizational development will take place? Are there policies or management decisions that might dictate the implementation of some program? Are there governmental mandates to which we must comply?
• As well, the needs analysis can examine sales performance, new technologies introduced into the workplace, and more.
