     performance
Stage One : Establish Organisational support and
               business direction

 1. Ask and analyse 3 years Financial Statements based on
    industry standards
 2. Identify weak performance areas using Du Pont Ratio
    Analysis
 3. ‘Project Parameters’ : rationale of approach(es), time
    needed, numbers of people involved, admin. (& other)
    support needed.
    –   Establish Committee on performance
        •   Benchmarkings
        •   Accepted KPIs
    –   Establish performance standards
    –   Identify weak performers through KPI

Stage Two : Organisational Performance Gap Analysis

  1. Central Issue = ‘how well is the organisation doing?’
  2. N.B. Organisation does not have to be underperforming
     to need development
  3. Importance of the ‘transfer’ climate : system-wide factors
     that may support/undermine training
  4. Goldstein (1993) : 4 stages of Organisational Analysis
     –   Specify training goals (3 types)
     –   Determine training climate
     –   Identify legal constraints (vertical and horizontal)
     –   Determine resources available

Stage Three : Team and Individual Performance Analysis

 1. determine teams to be assessed
 2. Narrow to key job holders
 3. identify how needs assessment data best collected
    –   interviews, observations, surveys, tests, records, SME’s, focus
        groups, work samples, etc.
 4. determine who is going to provide necessary info
    –   Benchmarks internally and externally.
 5. ascertain key points of contact and their responsibilities
 6. anticipate problems and difficulties
 7. develop a TNA protocol

Stage Four : Individual Job & Task Analysis
• Job and function analysis
    • Duty Analysis
    • Best Practices
• Task Analysis for TNA should provide
    • a job specification (KSA’s/competencies required).
    • Training spec. derived from difference between employees’ current
      and ideal levels
• Reid & Barrington (1997) : 3 main TNA TA approaches (task
  identification & task element analysis)
    – Comprehensive Approach
    – Key Task Analysis
    – Problem-Centred Approach
• Task fidelity (physical and psychological)
    – e.g. stages and ‘key points analysis’, manual skills analysis, job
      learning analysis, faults analysis, benchmarking, Critical Incidents
      Technique.

Stage Five : Person and job Analysis

• Who in the organisation needs training
    – Confine to critical performance gaps only
    – Critical job holders
• What kind of training is needed
    – Competency gaps identified
• KSA deficits - must have suitable performance criteria
    –   performance evaluation
    –   Key Performance indicators
    –   360-feedback ratings
    –   KSA’s of new recruits
    –   Development Centre ratings
    –   self-assessments

TNA summary steps
1. Identify weak KPAs by comparing outputs
   against standards using the Du Pont format.
2. Detailed analyis of the performance gaps by
   input output analysis and variance analysis
3. Analyse performance gaps and translate into
   competency gaps.
4. Identify training needs
5. Justify training through ROI
6. Evaluate Training

TNA should lead towards
