CMOE’s needs analysis and organization assessments are designed to help leaders and stakeholders at all levels understand strengths and pinpoint opportunities for improvement within their organization. CMOE tailors a needs analysis or organization assessment to address a client’s specific purpose and desired outcome. Rather than performing an “academic” analysis, we design needs assessments that focus on gathering substantive feedback and insights from selected segments of the organization. Using this approach we are able to identify trends, ideas, needs, and issues that management can act on to create a positive change.

The goal with each needs analysis and culture assessment is to measure people’s perceptions of reality, and provide useful metrics and priorities to focus on in order to optimize performance. There are many types of needs analysis and organization assessments that can be utilized to gather relevant data, including:

  • Culture assessment
  • Learning and Deployment needs analysis
  • Competency assessment
  • Organization effectiveness assessment
  • Survey Feedback Action (SFA)
  • Team development needs analysis
  • Performance measurement
  • Strategic effectiveness

A quantitative needs analysis or organization assessment can be supported by other information gathering techniques, including direct observation, interviews, focus groups, work samples, etc.

The assessment process is a tremendously valuable learning and planning tool: stakeholders interpret results, facilitate collaborative problem solving in groups, set organizational priorities, and successfully plan for and implement change, and hold team members accountable for their actions.

How Do You Get A Needs Analysis Started?

Here are some steps you can take to get a needs analysis or organization assessment started.

1) Define the primary purpose and goals.

2) Consider the resources available.

3) Determine the audience.

4) Develop the assessment or identify a trusted partner.

5) Break up results into immediate issues or needs to address and secondary priorities to address later.

6) Share findings and plans to address the data with the organization.
