Describe a training problem.
Get a real analysis.
Most training fails before it's ever designed — because the wrong problem gets solved. Describe your situation and get a structured Performance Analysis Brief, the same kind an instructional designer would write before building anything.
Be as specific as you can. Include what's happening, who's involved, and what the business impact is. The more real and specific, the more useful your analysis will be.

Building your Performance Analysis Brief
What you just read is a Performance Analysis — the document that starts every real ID project. It answers the question "should we even build training?" before anyone opens an authoring tool. This is Milestone 1 of IDOL Academy. Not theory. Not a textbook exercise. The actual first thing Dr. Robin Sargent reviews every Friday when students submit their work. Most organizations skip this step entirely. That's why most training doesn't work.
Needs analysis is where every
IDOL project begins.
In IDOL Academy, you don't start with a blank slide deck. You start with an analysis. You learn to ask the right questions before anyone builds anything. That's what separates IDs who solve problems from IDs who just produce content.
