A needs assessment is a systematic process used by organizations, educators, and consultants to identify gaps between current conditions and desired outcomes, informing decisions about training, resource allocation, or program design. It typically involves data collection through surveys, interviews, and performance analysis to prioritize what should be addressed. It's a foundational skill in fields like human resources, instructional design, public health, and organizational development.
