Week 3 Assignment:
Last week, you conducted some basic data gathering and analysis in your organization. From that data gathering, you should have identified a few developmental needs for enhancing the performance of individuals, teams, and leaders. In other words, needs for enhancing the performance of the organization. This week, you will design a basic training and development intervention for individuals that includes at least two different intervention methods. An intervention is a specific action or series of actions taken to address a specific problem that you have identified.
Planning and Execution:
- What needs emerged from your data gathering and analysis that connect to individuals in the organization (rather than teams or the organization as a whole unit. You will also be looking at leader development issues later in the project, so focus on other individual concerns where possible this week.).
- What evidence can you provide to support your conclusions?
- Are there any pieces of evidence that might contradict your conclusion?
- Are there specific individuals with performance issues that need addressed?
- What evidence can you provide to support your conclusions?
- Are there any pieces of evidence that might contradict your conclusion?
- Are there factors or issues related to several individuals, categories of individuals, or individuals in general that need addressed?
- What evidence can you provide to support your conclusions?

- What are the specific action steps (intervention plan) that are needed to address the concerns?
- Who needs to be involved in the plan for it to be a success?
- What is the time frame for implementing your plan?
