Project: HRD Learning Intervention Development

Objective: To apply the HRD Learning Intervention development process to an actual industry situation.

Instructions: Review individual sections below

For this project you will identify an actual (real and current) need for an HRD Learning Intervention that you can collect information about to use in the development of your final project. This situation/need can be one:

1. That you are familiar with from your place of employment

2. About which you can obtain information through an informational interview with someone who is familiar with the situation

3. About which you can obtain information through public sources such as news reports, annual reports, etc

Organization criteria: 10 or more people

Situation Criteria: Within this situation, you must be able to identify a need for an HRD Learning Intervention - this can be for the organization overall, or for a specific functional area/department of an organization, or even for a specific policy, etc.

THE ONLY HRD PROGRAM THAT YOU CANNOT DEVELOP FOR THIS PROJECT IS AN ONBOARDING PROGRAM.

1. Brief Overview of the Organization

Brief history- Key points, players, products, and events Section Deliverables 1. Organizational Overview - timelines and organizational charts are great for this section, but also be sure to include an organizational overview.

2. Ch 4: Conduct a Needs Analysis

Based on one or a combination of the sources outlined above, conduct an HRD-focused needs assessment - include your findings for two levels of needs assessment:

1. Organizational

2. Task (a person analysis could be difficult in this situation, and possibly inappropriate).

For both types of assessments, include information based on the three main types of needs:

Type of Needs

Diagnostic- Factors that lead to effective performance and prevent performance problems Analytical- Identify new or better ways to perform tasks

Compliance- Mandated by law.

1. Conduct an Organizational Analysis (of the entire organization or specific department) to determine your HRD focus. Determine the:

1. Organizational goals

2. Organizational resources

3. Organizational climate

4. Environmental constraints Based on the Organizational Analysis, choose a focus area that you will be able to dive a little deeper into.

2. Within your chosen area, conduct a Task Analysis. This analysis can be conducted on an individual job or a group of jobs.

For this analysis, in step one, you will not develop any of the items, but instead you will refer to the already developed sources of data within the organization or found through other sources.

For the task identification step, choose one or more of the methods explained in the text.
