Training Needs Analysis can be done for an organisation as a whole, or for a particular section or function. It can include analysis of an organisation’s current performance problems, or in anticipation of changes that are likely to require training. TNA focuses attention on ‘performance’ to identify training needs, along with other, non-training implications. Once performance problems have been analysed, they can be reviewed according to their importance. Having established priorities, further, more detailed analysis can be done to identify precise training needs. These needs should concern everybody associated with a particular performance problem, irrespective of their status or number.
