Training and Staff Development

This Project option, you will choose and build a training plan. Identify a common training
problem that organizations struggle with and the best way to address this problem. Examples include:
change management, technology implementation, communication, team building, and conflict
resolution. Also, determine how to implement the training by identifying the method of delivery. Follow
these steps:

•   Write the report.

•   Prepare the PowerPoint presentation.

•   Proofread and submit both items.

  
  

  ***The report/presentation must include:

•   An eight to 10-page double-spaced paper (not counting the cover page, abstract, and reference
  page) with appropriate references. Make sure your paper is formatted and cited according to
  the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

•   An executive-level presentation (summary) not to exceed four PowerPoint slides.

The report must include the following items:

1. Identify what the problem is and what type of training is being proposed. Relate this to the
   organization’s strategic imperatives.

2. Prepare an overview of why the training is needed. Include the learning objectives that you have
   identified for the program.

3. Research best practices on how to train toward this problem. Discuss what other organizations
   have done to train on this topic. You can include White Papers.

4. Create a flowchart of the process to conduct research and collect data for decision making
   (which does not have to fit any specific process form; just make it clear).

5. Outline an abbreviated needs analysis, including a high-level assessment of skills, costs, and
   risks.

6. Propose high-level training solutions, including recommendations and justifications for
   development, implementation, technologies, and assessment type (or justification that training
   is not a solution that will adequately address the issue, and present a proposal for a non-training
   solution).

7. Write a conclusion that reiterates the recommendation and ties it back to the best practices of
   other organizations.
