Question# 1 Provide an example of a in which you would recommend a reactive needs analysis.
Describe the situation and explain why you believe the type of needs analysis you chose would
be most practical.
An perfect example of a reactive training needs analysis would be performance improvement in
organisations. Since performance can only be improved open when captured, this would call for
a reactive training. The best way to conduct performance reviews and to fill in the gap would be
to map out opportunities for improvements using a combination of qualitative and quantitative
data from the performance review conducted by a supervisor. peers and a self performance
evaluation. Since supervisor completed performance appraisals are metric driven, they don't
capture other points of qualitative and quantitative data. Which where peer to peer and self
evaluation add value to give a better picture. This would help aggregate a much more accurate
needs analysis.
Question #2 What would the outcome be if no needs analysis was conducted?
The outcome would be a negligible change in performance metrics. This would result in
substantial efforts with little or no results in a change in performance. Training helps employees
stay relevant to the organisation and up skill themselves. This would result in a a stagnation in
performance, growth which would quickly lead to a lack of interest and attrition in the
organisation.
