Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is an essential first step in management development. If you wish to achieve the greatest improvement in performance and best value from your investment in training, development, practical experience or networking, you should first undertake a comprehensive training needs analysis. This will form the basis for designing a cost effective management or talent development programme. Training needs analyses can incorporate a 360° feedback survey, or an analysis of current corporate needs. For senior individuals an intensive interview programme, including work shadowing can be justified.

How would you want a training to take effect and have the impact stronger then the past trainings you have done?

We introduce BuddyCoach - a 360° feedback training needs analysis for managers, with suggestions of how to improve performance. Get feedback from your colleagues and use it to develop a personal development plan.

How do you design a TNA?

First set your context. Before starting on a training needs analysis, it is desirable to carry out an audit of the current situation, desired changes in job or responsibility, and probable technological and organisational developments. This will provide the information needed to determine what is required of the individual, team or organisation.

Then you can determine performance standards in terms of skills, contacts and practical experience. There are many published management competencies and standards for directors that can be helpful here. You will find many useful forms and questionnaires in our learning resources section.

Simple questionnaires help you identify where individuals stand on a range of competences in management, corporate governance and director behaviour, and corporate culture. Both the process of answering the questions, and the feedback will contribute to self-awareness, especially if the results include contributions from line manager, peers and direct reports. The training need is the difference between the current performance and the required performance.

We can help you design a training needs analysis and also provide the tools and administration for an independent confidential exercise. As well as interview and paper based systems, we provide on-line computer based systems. This is particularly helpful as the number of candidates increases.

 

 

360° FEEDBACK SURVEYS

A 360° feedback survey helps the organisation obtain quality information about performance and relationships by posing a set of standard questions to an individual's line manager, peers and direct reports. This all around (360°) approach identifies any variation of behaviour in different roles and minimises personal bias. The information can be collected on paper forms or using computer systems; the print-out in either case acts as a third party report which managers or coaches and their clients can discuss in a non-emotional manner.

We recommend that a 360° survey should precede any developmental coaching programme. When reviewing an individual it is often best to ask open questions such as: -

➢ Keep doing: What are the things which 'name' currently does which help you and which you hope (s)he will continue to do?

 

➢ Do more of: What are the things you would like 'name' to start doing or do more of?

 

➢ Do less of: What are the things which 'name' does which get in the way and which you would like to be done less often?

 

➢ Development needs: What are the areas upon which you feel 'name' should really concentrate in order to improve the managerial performance of the organisation? You may wish to highlight aspects of how (s)he manages or specific objectives or accountabilities which you feel need attention.

 

➢ Personal strengths: What do you see as the key strengths which 'name' brings to his/her job?

This information can then be consolidated by an independent consultant and fed back in a relatively unattributed manner.

However, for a larger or organisation-wide survey it is better to get numeric information that can be analysed and presented by computer. We have developed many TNA analysis program for this purpose.

 

BuddyCoach is a low cost on-line service for individuals - the basic service is at a very minimal cost using email and phone only. Using standard questions based on competencies in personal effectiveness, managing communications, managing people, effective directorship and corporate culture an individual can obtain an analysis of personal strengths and development needs. 

For a small charge up to ten others - line manager, peers and direct reports for instance - can be invited to comment too. The graphical results contrast the results from the different categories of feedback and also compare them with the norm for our international database. For each competence result there are suggestions of how to improve.

 

PERSONAL INTERVIEWS

Personal interviews by a trained interviewer who is independent of the organisation is a means of obtaining high quality information about an individual or members of a team. Not only can the interviewer collect standard information, but he/she can ask penetrating questions to identify the reasons for the feedback.

The information can be fed back to the subject in a non-attributable manner, but with much more information, including not only actual quotes but the appropriate voice tone and emphasis of the original quote. If the interviewer is also commissioned to coach the individual or team, this quality information will ensure that real issues are properly dealt with.

WORK SHADOWING

Work shadowing involves a coach spending time with an individual while he or she is carrying out their normal work. The coach sits in on meetings and observes the individual's behaviour in different circumstances. Feedback can then be immediate, or compiled into a formal report. The instant feedback is a valuable part of the coaching process.

 

Many times we send staff for training and assuming or expecting them to change after training. 

Question

Have we developed a module as follow up and a TNA 360’ after training is conducted to evaluate the following:

1. Changes made thus far, first 15 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days?
2. Improvement analysis from up down and down up and impact evaluation of the training using the TNA 360 via BuddyCoach system
3. Implementation process of anything they would have picked up from the training into their working environment using TNA 360 via BuddyCoach system.
4. On the job training
5. Off the job training and coaching (via coaching buddy or via social medial communication)

 

Many of us send staff for training with training companies who only conduct trainings but failed to assist organisation in evaluation and ensuring changes kicks in immediately and also long term in which would benefit the organisation from there on.

5-Step Plan to Reverse Diabetes

Step 1: Remove These Foods to Reverse Diabetes Naturally Certain foods negatively affect your blood sugar levels, cause inflammation and trigger immune responses. To reverse diabetes naturally, the first step is to remove these foods from your diet: Refined sugar: Refined sugar rapidly spikes blood glucose, and soda, fruit juice and other sugary beverages are the worst culprits. These forms of sugar enter the bloodstream rapidly and can cause extreme elevations in blood glucose. (7) Even though natural sweeteners like raw honey and maple syrup are better options, they can still affect blood sugar levels, so only use these foods on occasion. Your best option is to switch to stevia, a natural sweetener that won’t have as much of an impact. Grains: Grains, especially gluten-containing grains like wheat, contain large amounts of carbohydrates that are broken down into sugar within only a few minutes of consumption. Gluten can cause intestinal inflammation, which affects hormones like...

Does apple cider vinegar help people with diabetes?

Apple cider vinegar may have various health benefits, such as supporting weight loss and managing blood sugar. These benefits could help people with or at risk of diabetes. However, scientific research has not yet confirmed them. Scientists have yet to back up the majority of the health claims around apple cider vinegar with significant clinical research. However, some evidence has emerged to suggest that apple cider vinegar may have particular benefits for the management of diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic condition that leads to an inability to manage blood sugar levels properly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 1980, around 108 million people had diabetes. Its prevalence has significantly increased over the past few decades to an estimated 422 million in 2014. This article looks at the research that links apple cider vinegar and diabetes, as well as ways to take apple cider vinegar effectively. According to scientists, apple cider vinegar has the potential to ...

The Dangers of Ego-Driven Spending: A Call for Reality Check

Image
In a world where status and outward appearances reign supreme, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of ego-driven spending. We live in a society where success is often measured by the size of our possessions and the prestige of our lifestyle. As a result, many of us find ourselves chasing after the latest trends and splurging on luxury items in a bid to keep up with the Joneses. But what if I told you that some of the wealthiest individuals in the world eschew ostentatious displays of wealth in favor of a more modest lifestyle? Take, for example, Warren Buffett, one of the most successful investors of all time. Despite his immense wealth, Buffett is known for his frugal habits, driving the same modest car and living in the same unassuming house for decades. Similarly, tech titan Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is often seen wearing a simple gray t-shirt and jeans, despite being worth billions of dollars. And then there's Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, who fam...
