Organizational Needs Analysis
An Organizational Needs Analysis (ONA) identifies the areas of challenges and needs in an organization, department or unit. It considers mission, values and principles, business initiatives, alignment, operations, human resources, productivity, quality and other critical components.An ONA uses a systematic approach that progresses through a defined series of phases, one of which is the analysis phase. This phase should be the building block of any training program, intervention, or solution. Its purpose is to aid in the decision making process by defining all the elements, issues, facts, and features taking place within the organization's systems or processes, and aligning recommendations with the organization's strategic plan and desired outcome.
The methods that are used will be selected to fit the purposes and context of the needs analysis, but can include surveys, observations, interviews, focus groups, and data collection/analysis.
