Designing & Conducting a Training Needs Analysis

How to design a TNA? An excellent question. We reckon start backwards and then determine the layout of the TNA at the very end. We can help you with part (or all) of the TNA process. The problem with conventional TNAs is the questions they omit. An omitted question on the TNA might be an opportunity lost.

This two day program will introduce to participants a proven methodology to diagnose and deliver a lasting behavioural change with a training intervention. This will help your organisation to diagnose and overcome any behavioural barriers to achieve your strategic objectives

Dr Marny Lishman crated an amazing space that not only was open, safe and caring, but gave insight into many different aspects of resilience. She apprieciated different perspectives and opened discussions that were supported and wise. The presentation was targeted and had the perfect balance of knowledge and reflection. I would encourage this workshop for any team, especially those preparing of have gone through organisational change!
