Needs Assessment

Needs Assessment

Order Description

Conduct Needs Assessment

Now that you have identified a client and the management problem you will investigate, you will conduct a needs assessment. When conducting a needs assessment you first identify the “what is” relating to the problem you have chosen to address and contrast that to “what should be.”

Some questions you can explore to help you are:

• What is the problem?
• How does the desired performance relate to the mission statement?
• Is the problem organization-wide or isolated to one or a few individuals?
• Have organizational initiatives created the problem?
• Does the problem relate to individual performance issues?
• Is training adequate to support the desired outcome?
• Is the issue related to job design?
• What criteria are used to measure performance?
• Is performance criteria appropriate, i.e. attainable and measurable?

These questions do not all need to be answered nor is this list all inclusive; they are provided to help you get started and inspire your own questions to explore while completing this assignment.

Keep in mind: Once one has identified a problem, the next focus it to look at the needs assessment. During this phase one would identify what is the situation in relation to the problem. You are not identifying HOW to solve the problem during this phase…only asking yourself where you are and where you need to be.
Complete a 2-3 page paper discussing the client’s needs with relation to the management problem you are studying.
Below are the short readings to look at if you need them. Also I will attach the Week 1 paper that you wrote. There will be a paper every week for 7 weeks that builds on the study. Thanks
