From the basic definition of a learning organization one is able to understand the overall positive image and outcomes it provides for organizations, however what reduces the amount of learning organizations within society today, are the numerous obstacles and barriers they face. Specifically barriers, barriers to learning occur as the result of managerial efforts to implement this new ideology, which is not accepted or understood by employees or management itself (Steiner, 1998).

...Discussing the role of organization analysis, person analysis, and task analysis in Needs Assessment Needs assessment helps determine whether training is necessary. There are often pressure points that may suggest that training is necessary. A needs assessment usually involves organizational analysis, person analysis, and task analysis. Needs assessment answers three questions: Organization – What is the context in which training will occur? Person – Who needs training? Task – What subjects should the training cover?
