Step 3: Collect Data on Expecteds/Actual

DOE-HDBK-1103-96

SAMPLE 1

REQUEST TO COMPARE A TRAINING/QUALIFICATION PROGRAM

WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF AN ORDER

STEP 3: COLLECT DATA ON EXPECTEDS/ACTUAL

Process:

Use NGT/CDM to determine job positions (and number of employees in each) impacted

by the Order and group them (if helpful or necessary) into programs.

If helpful, use facilitated discussion and document review combined to divide Order

requirements into "site-wide," "facility-wide," and/or "program-wide."

If necessary, revise problem statement to reflect which program(s) and requirements will

be assessed in this TTNA.

Requirements

Met? Yes or No?

Implementation Plan

STEP 4: ANALYZE DATA TO DETERMINE GAPS

Process:

Combine Order review with facilitated discussion to list (by comparing expecteds with

actuals):

which requirements are met (write on a flip chart page).

which requirements are not met (these gaps written on a different flipchart page).

If helpful, group common gaps.

Co-Facilitator types chart:

Solution(s)

STEP 5: DETERMINE CAUSE(S) OF EACH GAP

Process:

For each gap, Facilitator asks: "Is it applicable to determine why this requirement hasn't

already been met? (e.g., are there management practices/policies that are a barrier?

lack of training staff? inappropriate hiring practices? etc.)?"

If so, use a facilitated discussion and fishbone, if applicable, to determine cause(s).

Co-Facilitator documents results.
