The Learning Needs Analysis
We spend time inside your business before we design anything.
Before any conversation about solutions, ABSTRACT takes time to understand whether a client's objectives are aligned and realistic. A forensic analysis of the business comes first.
That's what our Learning Needs Analysis is; time spent inside your organisation, talking with your people, observing what's actually happening, and giving you a clear, honest picture of where the real development gaps are and what to do about them.
- A professional report you can share with senior stakeholders.
- Clarity on root causes, not just symptoms.
- Insights that often surprise even the people who commissioned them.
- A clear set of recommendations with a realistic timeline.
- A downloadable example so you can see exactly what to expect.
Understanding the problem is half the work.
Most L&D programmes fail not because the training is poor, but because the wrong problem gets addressed.
We take the time to understand what's actually happening inside your organisation through 1:1 conversations, focus groups and direct observation, before we recommend anything.
The result is a programme designed around your specific situation, not borrowed from someone else's.
Our Approach
1. Consultation
We start with a conversation about your business objectives and where you feel performance isn't where it should be.
No assumptions, no generic solutions.
2. Research
We go inside your organisation, talking with people at every level, running focus groups and gathering data to see what's actually happening rather than what's assumed to be happening.
3. Analysis
We make sense of what we've found, identifying patterns, root causes and the gap between where your people are and where the business needs them to be.
4. Solutions
We present our findings to your senior stakeholders in a clear, professionally produced report with specific, actionable recommendations and a proposed timeline for delivery.
