The article argues against the common practice of skipping a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) before developing training programs. While it might appear efficient, bypassing a TNA actually leads to longer-term inefficiencies and subpar results. Common objections like lack of time, budget, and the belief that existing knowledge suffices are explored. The piece suggests reframing the TNA as a brief alignment session to ensure effective training design. It emphasizes that a TNA can be simple, requiring just targeted questions and insights from employees, rather than an extensive process.
Skipping a training needs assessment (TNA) may appear efficient, but it tends to delay results and create unnecessary work in the long run.
Many objections to conducting a TNA stem from misconceptions about time and budget, but a simple approach can yield valuable insights without significant resources.
