Introduction
    Need Assessment and problem solving approach are the most essential tool for the organization that helps an organization in determining the gaps that are preventing it from reaching the desired position. The prescribed company chosen here is Nokia, which was a Finnish multinational telecommunication, currently owned by HMD Global and is an information technology and consumer electronics company. The need assessment model, which is taken in consideration, is the Harlless’s Front-End analysis model that focuses on the performance and cause analysis as the major tools for finding the best way to correct the performance problem. The model focuses on the result primarily than the solutions.

The instructional system design model is considered as the basic core in the training programs implemented by the company.
