Using a needs analysis with Jerry Dugan
A needs assessment is great for a talent development person because it’s career protection but also career growth. It’s a security blanket and insurance policy.
In the Hot Seat: Jerry Dugan on using a needs analysis to assess where your training focus should be
Andy’s guest is Jerry Dugan, Director of Organizational Effectiveness for a healthcare system in Dallas. Jerry has almost two decades of experience in the learning and development space and leads a small team that’s responsible for new hire orientation, leadership development, team building, and other instructional design duties.
In this episode, Jerry shares the resource for outlining a needs assessment, why training often takes longer than managers believe it will, and how you can apply a needs assessment to current problems in your company.
