A needs assessment determines what the organization needs and how to close the gap between the current state of the organization and where it needs to be. The needs assessment consists of three main parts, which are initiation, data collection and analysis, and the final production (Weisberg, 2017). The needs assessment is important because it is instrumental in helping to identify disparities that are preventing the organization from reaching its goals.
Weisberg (2017) explains the initiation component as the identification of “frame factors” or “limiting factors”of the needs assessment, the organization being analyzed, and the project stakeholders. During the data collection and analysis component, the PEST (political, economic, social, and technological) analysis and SWOT analysis is performed. The final production is the final component of the needs assessment which includes a summary of findings, the migration strategy highlighting the areas of limitations and those that need strengthening. The final production also includes recommendations (Weisberg, 2017).
