Through a systematic process, HPT explores issues at the organizational, unit, and individual level, and with skills and knowledge, resources, and motivation. perceive several advantages of HPT: an explanation of why training alone often fails to achieve the intended results, a systematic approach, a scientific foundation and emphasis on empirical data, and the promise of more enriching jobs. reality is more nuanced: too much similarity between the HPT and instructional systems design models, a continued over‐reliance on training; a lack of actual empirical evidence to support it; and its failure to actually provide more. continues to influence HRD, but perhaps HRD represents a more evolved approach.
