Analysis: The Defining Phase of Systematic Training

The University of Texas at Tyler

The problem and solution. The analysis phase of analysis, design, develop, implement, evaluate (ADDIE) was originally based on the understanding that training was needed and that analyzing the content was the starting point. Over time the analysis phase has become the defining phase as it moved up from job-task analysis for identifying the content of a training program to (a) analyzing a worker performance problem that can be addressed by training, (b) to identifying and analyzing a worker-work system performance problem that can be addressed by a combination management and training intervention, and (c) on to an analysis process for diagnosing performance in an organization that may or may not involve training as part of a performance improvement intervention. The contemporary analysis process is designed to help decision makers gain a clear understanding of the "gaps" between the desired and current performance and the factors or variables impinging on them.

Key Words: analysis • organizational diagnosis • up-front analysis • needs analysis • performance
