Whether you call it a “needs analysis,” a “training needs assessment,” a “performance assessment,” or something else, a needs analysis is simply the process an instructional designer goes through to evaluate a performance issue to determine the root cause of that performance issue and offer one or more solutions that will hopefully resolve that performance issue (ideally in a measurable and evidence-based way).

Seems pretty simple, right?! Well, the truth is, whether you’re a completely brand new instructional designer or you already have some experience under your belt, needs analyses are one of those things that we do a really great job of over-complicating. And while we constantly talk about the importance of conducting a needs analysis, there isn’t a lot of good, practical, and down-to-earth information on how to actually conduct one. As a result, you’d be amazed at how many learning and development teams out there don’t actually make need analyses a critical part of their instructional design process.

So, in this video, I’ll walk you through how to conduct a needs analysis step-by-step, along with examples and a downloadable template you can use for conducting your own needs analyses.
