Needs assessment is a critical first step process. With 5 sub categories, each one must be clearly understood and met to properly fulfill the design of the instructional period. A company may have a set of standards that must be met by its employees. This "normative need" must be incorporated into the plan. The "felt need" may incorporate part of the normative need, but really takes into account the feelings and thoughts of those stakeholders in the instructional period. Once again, the Expressed/Demanded need may related back to a felt need but is really setting the stage/standard for results that must be met/achieved by the individuals. One must examine the comparative need: taking a look into how one person performs over another. They must figure out how to make everyone perform on the same level, at a better rate. Projection of future requirements or demands is critical to success.
