The Future of Systemic and Systematic Training

The problem and the solution. The overriding challenge facing the training profession and the larger human resource development (HRD) profession is to become systemic. There are many rivals to training and HRD interventions. Gaining and retaining the professional stature must go beyond relationship building and beyond systematic processes and on to systemically connecting human potential to the core of the systems being served and led.

Development Phase of Systematic Training: New Technology Lends Assistance

The problem and the solution. The field of human resource development (HRD) has long ascribed to the analysis, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model for the systematic creation and delivery of training programs. The development phase is where the actual materials and course content used in the teaching-learning process are created. With the explosion of information technologies in today’s world, the course developer must now make the best decision about how to use electronic support related to training. There is a need to explore the development phase of systematic training to see what information technologies are available for the training developer and how these technologies enhance the development process and outcomes.
