Conducting a performance or training needs analysis is a proactive step for organisations to assess their specific training requirements. Training is often seen as the default solution to a performance problem but it alone cannot improve performance unless interrelated factors are identified and addressed. A needs analysis is a vital first step in identifying the skills required by the workforce and the factors that contribute to good performance before implementing the right mix of training and non-training solutions. Peak Learning uses the systems approach to training with the ADDIE model at its core (analysis, design, develop, implement and evaluate).
