  • Pragmatic value of doing needs assessments
  • Discussion of the fundamental assumptions and foundations on which a needs assessment should be conducted
  • The best methodology for conducting needs assessments and user surveys
  • The best strategy to create a comprehensive request for proposals for needs assessments
  • The standards to use in judging proposals for needs assessments
  • The best ways to utilize the needs assessment
  • Overview of statistical procedures needed to analyze needs assessment data
  • Overview of the analysis of Big Data from social media for decision making
  • Demonstration of an analytical tool for needs assessments


MLL will be offering the Fall 2018 Workshop in Winston Salem on October 12, 2018 starting at 9:30 am.  Would you and your colleagues be interested in attending the Workshop?
