(Part 3) Training RAI™ and Raising the Bar through Assessments

Do You Know the Specific Skill Gaps of Your Target Audience?

Once you have direction and alignment, it is time to pinpoint individual, group, and company skill gaps against a proven standard.

The skill assessment should be online, take approximately 20 minutes, and be based upon researched and behaviorally-based questions and scenarios that have been agreed upon by your key stakeholders.

The results will give you a clear picture of individual, group, and company:

• Strengths / Opportunities
  
• Differences between high and low performers
  
• Barriers to success
  
• Coaching / Development priorities
  
• Customization needs
  

With this detailed skill gap analysis, you have the data required to both plan and act intelligently. Remember, this is about creating Training RAI™: Relevance.Adoption.Impact™, not about learning for the sake of learning.
