AB  - What is the role of the effective human resource development (HRD)
organisation in strategic business change. Best practices have emerged
which suggest a six‐step approach: (1) a focused strategic approach:
identify the key initiatives to which the organisation is committed and
build the HRD programmes around them; (2) involvement of top management:
grow from the vision and commitment of the chief executive officer; (3)
refocus course content: “softer” business skills are
essential for significant strategic change; (4) develop impactful
learning methods: action learning is a valuable tool for organisations
in transition; (5) focused participation: employees participate who can
provide the greatest leverage; and (6) empowered participants: provide a
learning atmosphere to lead the change. The six‐steps will help the HRD
professional become a force in strategic transformation.
