  Learning Needs Analysis and Evaluation will help you ensure that learning in your organisation is focused in the right areas and on the right people. It will help you assess whether learning interventions actually work and deliver improved performance that makes a difference to your business. Learning Needs Analysis and Evaluation is an essential tool that will enable you to demonstrate how learning/training expenditure contributes to your organisation's overall performance and bottom line.This authoritative book: takes business needs as the major driver for learning activities; explores how learning needs are identified and then clearly specified to ensure that training is targeted effectively; covers the key area of how to plan for the learning; setting out the role of learning strategies and learning plans; and, sets out a systematic four-stage evaluation process to assess whether the learning has been successfully transferred to the workplace and the extent to which it meets organisational objectives and provides value for money.This new edition has been extensively revised (going far beyond the semantic) to highlight the changes that a move from 'training' to 'learning' have brought about. It also takes into account developments in the field, such as the emergence of e-learning and blended learning solutions. It is a highly practical book featuring numerous case studies and examples. With the help of this book, HR and learning professionals can demonstrate the contribution of learning to business performance. Whether you are new to the learning arena or an experienced professional, this book will provide invaluable guidance on this essential business topic.
