When you have identified areas of improvement, you can move on to the next step.
Analyze data and reports
Gather all reports generated from team leadership training
- Review reports to identify areas of improvement
- Identify changes or trends in data from reports
- Check for any inconsistencies or gaps in reports
- Use analytical tools to assess data from reports
- Once all data and reports are analyzed, document your findings
You can check off this step when all data and reports have been analyzed and documented.
Use gathered data to make informed decisions
Review all data gathered (including results of surveys, reports, feedback, etc.)
- Use the data to evaluate the success or failure of the team leadership training program
- Identify areas that need improvement or further development

Once decisions have been made, you will have completed this step and can move onto the next step of implementing the program.
Implementing the Program
Train the leaders on the new protocols and processes
- Provide resources and support to reinforce the training
- Monitor team members to ensure the training is being implemented correctly
- Provide feedback and coaching to ensure the training is being applied
