Learning objectives
Definition of needs analysis
Needs analysis is the systematic process of identifying and assessing the needs of a target group or organisation. This process involves collecting and analysing data to determine the gaps between the current state and the desired state, enabling the formulation of targeted solutions and practical strategies to fill these gaps.Importance of needs analysis
- Strategic planning: needs analysis allows for a clear definition of objectives, identification of necessary resources, formulation of strategies for achieving objectives, and optimising resource allocation.
- Improved effectiveness: through an in-depth understanding of actual needs, projects or services can be developed that respond more effectively and directly to the target group's needs.
- Decision support: needs analysis provides a solid data and information base that facilitates decision-making and reduces the risk of investing in lower-priority or less effective initiatives.
Required skills
