Helpful How-To Guide
I found this book to be well-written and very well-organized. I plan on using many of the structures and frameworks presented because they make good intuitive sense AND provide trainers with clues on what to look for to ensure trainings are working as planned. The ONLY disappointment with the book is that the lessons/examples/exercises it offers feel very old-school. My supervisors are ...

All of the handouts and slides on the cd are easily ...

Deborah Tobey

ASTD Press, 2005

The premise of Needs Assessment Basics is simple and powerful: organizational and individual training needs cannot be separated from the business needs of an organization. Without a focused needs assessment process, trainers end up developing and delivering training that does not solve the right problem and, worse, delivering training that the target audience finds irrelevant and the organization dismisses as a poor investment. Needs ...
