Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When training plans begin to form
We need to know what skills to warm
Start with the organization's view
What strategy is pushing through
The company goals and market shift
Tell us which talents need a lift
Strategic priorities lead the way
To see what training needs today

[Chorus]
OTPR - remember the frame
Organizational, Task, Person, Regulatory - that's the game
OTPR - assess before you train
Organization, Task, Person, Rules - success you'll gain
Training needs assessment is the key
To build the skills your people need to be

[Verse 2]
Now break it down to every role
Task analysis makes us whole
What competencies does each job need
Technical skills and soft skills indeed
Look at performance standards clear
Map out what should happen here
From entry level to expert stage
Define skills for every page

[Chorus]
OTPR - remember the frame
Organizational, Task, Person, Regulatory - that's the game
OTPR - assess before you train
Organization, Task, Person, Rules - success you'll gain
Training needs assessment is the key
To build the skills your people need to be

[Bridge]
Person analysis shows the gaps
Between what is and what perhaps
Should be the level of their skill
Current versus ideal will
Reveal who needs what kind of growth
Survey, observe, or ask them both
Individual needs come to light
When we compare what is to right

[Verse 3]
Don't forget regulatory must-haves
Safety training, compliance paths
Industry standards, legal needs
Jurisdiction plants the seeds
Of mandatory training hours
Government and bodies have the powers
To require certain learning tracks
Check the rules, then fill the cracks

[Final Chorus]
OTPR - remember the frame
Organizational, Task, Person, Regulatory - that's the game
OTPR - assess before you train
Organization, Task, Person, Rules - success you'll gain
Training needs assessment shows the way
To target learning every day

[Outro]
Before you build a training plan
Assess the needs across the span
OTPR will guide you true
To training that delivers value through
