Training Needs Analyzer
Rate each skill against the level your team needs, name the main reason for any shortfall, and see which gaps call for training and which need a different fix.
Team and goal
Skills to assess
Levels: 1 Aware, 2 Basic, 3 Competent, 4 Advanced, 5 Expert. Importance runs from 1 Minor to 5 Critical.
Choose the main cause of each gap. Only knowledge or skill gaps call for training.
Results
Priority matrix
- Training need
- Fix first (non-training cause)
- No gap
- Priority zone: gap of 2 or more on a skill rated 4 or 5 for importance
Ranked skills
- Filled squares show the current level. Dashed squares show the gap to the required level.
How the scoring works
- Gap is the required level minus the current level. It is never below zero.
- Priority score is gap multiplied by importance, from 0 to 20. A score of 12 or more is high, 6 to 11 is medium, and 1 to 5 is low.
- Only gaps caused by knowledge or skill are marked as training needs. Gaps caused by motivation, process, tools, time, or authority are marked fix first, because training alone will not close them.
- Ratings are only as good as the evidence behind them. Combine performance data, observation, assessments, and manager input where you can.
