Editor's Notes

  • #2 There are times when a TNA is not necessary. For example, the organization will communicate a new vision or address a legal concern – it is advisable to train ALL employees regarding those. However, teams who have been working for so many years who have attended a couple of team-building trainings who have an EFFICIENCY problem can benefit from a TNA. The TNA will identify what is causing the performance problem and as well as the training program that will allow them to become more productive.
  • #4 There are 2 kinds of TNA Proactive – problems are not yet identified. The TNA is conducted to identify what will cause the future performance gaps. Reactive – problems are already present. The TNA is conducted to know what causes the performance gaps and will determine if these gaps can be remedied by a training or can be addressed by taking other measures.
