The importance of training needs analysis lies in determining the root causes of operational issues and laying the groundwork for developing solutions. A well-done Training Needs Analysis identifies knowledge and performance gaps before they become larger problems and uncovers training approaches you may not have considered previously. It also aids in the avoidance of costly errors by:
1. Providing insight to improve training effectiveness
2. Making certain that training is focused on the right areas
3. Prioritizing training requirements
4. Streamlining the development of solutions
