sample management skills training needs analysis

management training needs analysis

team/dept/group

Change competencies descriptions to suit your situation. Replace the sample scores with those from your own group's management skill set assessments. Note that the totals and averages cells contain formulae for calculating totals so don't over-write these. Lowest scores are obviously the training priorities, although consideration needs to be given to the relative importance of the skills. If helpful show the most important skills by highlighting the rows as in the example (but change to suit your own situation). The spreadsheet can be extended right by copying the section to create new sections for other departments, and then to create organisational totals and averages. N.B. The shaded areas are just examples of most important skills change shading for your own situation. The lowest scores in the most important skills are the development priorities.

Most important skills are normally those which deliver best performance improvement, but importance could also be for legislation or policy reasons.
