Program Needs Analysis
Stop Building Courses. Start Building Training Programs.
A course is an output. A training program is an operating system for capability.
Course-first thinking creates narrow solutions. Program-first thinking starts with the business capability, the role, the process, the risks, and the performance outcome.
A strong training program may include learning paths, prerequisites, SOPs, job aids, assessments, coaching, manager verification, and LMS tracking. The course is only one part of the system.
Program needs analysis prevents wasted production because it clarifies what the business actually needs before the team starts building assets.
Want to operationalize this?
Start with a LearningOps audit or run a SCORM package through the QA tool before it goes to production.
