The document discusses the systems approach to training. It begins by stating the objective of training and development is to make people fit for their jobs or occupations. It then explains that the systems approach comprises different phases: analyze, design, develop, implement and evaluate. The systems approach contributes by recognizing performance needs, identifying training needs, and developing comprehensive training plans from the perspectives of the organization, designing effective training models, and considering various training factors. The systems approach ensures all stages are interdependent and functionally linked to form an integrated whole work system. Neglect of any system could impact the entire training process.

Introduction
Objective of T&D is to make a person fit for job /
occupation
Knowledge Skills
Performance depend on three factors:
Attitude

 Analyze  Design  Develop
 Implement  Evaluate

5. Systems Approach in Training 5
SAT is a series of
interdependent systems
Interdependence of
stages are crucial
Systems are functionally
linked together &
integrated into
whole work system
Malfunction or neglect
of any one of systems
Inevitably affects others

How Systems Approach to Training Work?
Identify training needs –
who needs training & what do they need to learn
Taking account of learning theory [how people learn] –
design & provide training to meet identified needs
Assess whether training has achieved its aim in terms of
subsequent work performance
If need be make amendments to any of earlier stages for
improvement

Important Tasks in Systems Approach

10. Significance of Systems Approach
• Systems approach contributes in:
–Recognizing performance needs
–Identifying training needs
–Developing comprehensive training plan
from perspective of:
• Organization
• Designing training model
• Training consideration
• We will examine all the three perspectives
10Systems Approach in Training

11. Organization
• There is needs to understand five aspects:
1. What to train What skills are needed
2. Who to train Who needs to be trained to
meet business needs
3. Where to train On the job or off the job
4. When to train When is the best time to train
5. How to train Which delivery options are
available
11Systems Approach in Training

12. Designing Training Model
• Is training really the answer?
• What background information is needed?
• What learners need to know & feel as a result
• of training?
• What contents to be addressed to acquire
• knowledge, skills, attitude
• What is the best way to train learners?
• How to transfer learning to work place
• How to determine effectiveness of training
12Systems Approach in Training

13. Training Considerations
• Was the training relevant to the needs?
• Did the learning achieved its goal?
• Is learning being used in appropriate manner
• Is training making difference in business
• working?
Systems Approach addresses all these
issues & provide answers for them
