Conducting a Needs Assessment & Designing an Effective HRD Program

View the following video clips from the movie Office Space:


Once you have viewed the clips, assume the main job at Initech is a data analyst review the link provided for job description information for a data analyst.

Think of the video clips as actual footage from inside a real organization and you are reviewing the footage as an outside consultant. Based on your observations from the video clips and job descriptions, conduct an actual HRD-focused needs assessment for Initech – include your findings for all three levels of needs assessment: organizational, task, and person. As you conduct your assessment, keep in mind the multiple variables in this dynamic: management, employees, process, the environment, culture, etc.
There is a difference in writing about a needs assessment and how to conduct one, and in actually conducting a needs assessment. Through this week’s materials you have already learned how (various methods) to conduct a needs assessment, now you will conduct one based on your observations of the videos and job descriptions.

Based on the information you identified and presented in the Conducting a Needs Assessment Assignment, you will now prepare an outline of an HRD program at Initech that you believe will help address some of these needs. You will provide an outline for each of the six key activities presented in the text. Some sections will be longer than others, but this is not meant to be a completed proposal, this is the outline that you present to your executive team before you spend a ton of time on the full proposal so it should have sufficient information, but it does not have to be over the top.
Again here, keep in mind the multiple variables in this dynamic: management, employees, process, the environment, culture, etc.
Also, keep in mind that different key activities might be better presented in appropriate formats, such as figure 5-3.
