The fun part about conducting a training gap analysis is that they provide you and your organization with so much needed information that you can repeat the process as many times as you need. Gap analysis can help you ensure training funds are well spent, you are addressing the actual needs for your team of learners, you are utilizing the correct learning methods for your learners, and you are assisting them with the correct competencies. Essentially, a gap analysis helps you understand what you need to go from point A to point B within your organization. It then helps you create a roadmap in order to reach your goal.


The results of your training gap analysis will reveal what is needed and why it is needed, who needs it, how will it be provided, and what will be the business effect. Your gap analysis will ensure you are developing your team towards your company's goals and learning objectives.


As training professionals and leaders within your organization, this learning path can help you conduct your own gap analysis or assist in improving your existing one.
