Recently I've been working with a couple of organizations that have related but not exactly the same problem. At one organization, the training of a new employee takes so long that managers and supervisors are becoming frustrated at the slowness of the rate of preparation. It is almost 6-8 weeks of nothing but training.

A Needs Analysis is needed because not all requests by managers or others for "training" are really going to be solved by training. Here is a list of some needs that are sometimes mistaken for training needs. In this case training the person on conflict resolution is not the answer.

Sometimes it is better to automate the process and eliminate the need for training. Training is time consuming, expensive and not always effective. The kiosk is so easy to use that you don’t require any training; you just follow the instructions on the screen. It doesn’t always make sense to teach or educate people.

In many organizations, people need to receive training for unlikely but possible events (such as a blow out on an oil rig or the blow out of two engines on an airplane because of bird strikes.). These are critical incidents and 3D learning environments can help people prepare and train for these events.

A few years ago, I co-conducted a study to determine the training needs of the Logistics and Transportation (L&T)industry in Northeastern PA. Better communication is a universal training need. The training needs assessment consisted of a survey and number of focus groups to gather the data. There is little computer training.

IN the past few weeks, a number of organizations have approached me with a common problem. They don’t know how to bring all their training efforts together, they lack strategy, focus and a unified vision. Within organizations, training requirements are not shrinking; in fact, they are becoming more and more chaotic.
