About Needs Assessments:

What Are Needs Assessments?

Needs assessments are tools that help organizations identify the gaps between their current performance and their desired goals. By conducting a needs assessment, organizations can discover the necessary steps to bridge these gaps. The outcome of a well-planned needs assessment should be a set of actionable changes that lead to positive improvements within the organization, ultimately closing the performance gap. Additionally, a needs assessment aids in realigning organizational processes with the mission, vision, and objectives, ensuring that all efforts are focused on achieving strategic goals.
