This book will benefit people and teams

assessments are used in various professions and settings
from emergency rooms to corporate boardrooms to guide
decision making. Nonetheless, although needs assessments
have many different applications, in this book on needs
assessments as they are applied in organizations to
accomplish results, as opposed to their use in personal
decisions or medical triage. This book, in turn, is guide to
assessing needs and then making essential decisions about
what to do next. This book filled with practical strategies,
tools, and guides covers both large-scale, formal needs
assessments and less-formal assessments that guide daily
decisions. Included in the book is a blend of rigorous
methods and realistic tools that can help make informed and
reasoned decisions. Together, these methods and tools offer
a comprehensive, yet realistic, approach to identifying
needs and selecting among alternative ways as go forward.
Sections one and two offer quick, yet full, answers to many
frequently asked questions regarding how to make justifiable
decisions. Next, section three examines a variety of tools
and techniques that can be used for both collecting
information and making decisions. Appendix A then offers a
number of checklists and guides for managing the systematic
assessment processes that lead to quality decisions.
Finally, the reference list at the end of the book is a
valuable resource to research, tools, and discussions of
needs assessment. |
