How to identify what training is needed the most

You can’t train everything. These workshops help L&D teams identify which skills matter most—so limited time and resources go where they’ll make a real difference. You’ll learn practical approaches to needs analysis, from gathering stakeholder input to analyzing performance gaps. Whether you’re scoping a new program or revisiting existing ones, these sessions show you how to cut through the noise, surface real learning needs, and build training that solves the right problems—not just the loudest ones.
