Training Plan for New System Implementation
Training needs analysis (TNA) is a systematic method for determining what caused
performance to be less than expected or required (Blanchard & Thacker, 2013, page 90). The
things considered are costs, business needs, training methods, and competencies. The purpose of
the training analysis process is to determine skills required for the new IT system. This system
will be in the purchasing department. The study will need effective techniques to uncover skill
gaps. The paper will address the summary of the analysis process, recommendations for how to
deal with organizational constraints, and the options for needs analysis. We will also go over the
linkages between performance, training and needs assessments, recommend the best solution for
the need analysis and a recommendation for training design.
Summary of Your Suggested Needs Analysis Process
The operational analysis will start with a schedule because we are on a specific and
aggressive timeline which will help with the strategic planning. During this phase, we can gather
all resources that will be needed. Then we will collect the information. Based on the system we
will determine what is required, who we will train, and the performance issues. In the end, we
will need to perform a gap analysis. A gap analysis compares the actual performance with the
desired performance. The gap analysis will also help with the performance issues related to the
relationships with pharmaceutical organizations. By looking at the performance of the
operational portion of an investment, and then looking at the performance parameters and goals,
operational analysis can reveal the strengths and weaknesses as well as any opportunities for
improvement.
