What is a Needs Assessment Survey? 

In short, a needs assessment is a way of asking members of a group or organization questions that help identify the most significant needs of the group or organization.We can adjust the parameters to meet the specific and immediate goals of the organization or we can choose to focus the questions on long-term priorities and needs or some combination of the two.

The key is in asking the right questions. Needs assessments focus on three primary types of needs:

• Expressed – these are needs for which a multiple people have sought help (unfortunately, most people do not seek help and simply allow their frustrations to dictate their opinion about businesses or products).
• Perceived – this describes what people believe their needs are according to their points of view and shaped by their own experiences.
• Relative – these needs take larger groups of people, or even the entire population into consideration and look for equity that meets the diverse needs of a larger population.

All you need to do is conduct another survey that addresses changing infrastructure, products, goals, and/or technology.
