Strategy for Performing a Needs Analysis

For performing a complete needs assessment I am first going to review the qualifications for entry and the rules for winning. I will need to see a scorecard if at all possible. The "2012 SHRM Case Competition Rules and Regulations with Code of Conduct" document provides much of the foundation for what we need to establish as performance objectives and KSAOCs. This will be comparable to an organization (competition) analysis.

Having established these criteria, I would then speak to professors or past judges in the competition, to discuss what they have seen in past years.

a. Website / Video / YouTube example of winning team

2. Personal Introductions - Opening Activity

3. Competency definition - Identification of weaknesses
