A Simplified HRD

INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL

How important is an Individual Development Model?

• Assets depend on people to create value. (Persons, Groups, Teams, Committees, Board, etc.)
• Customers and Vendors are also dependent on people.
• Organizations can rise only to the limits of their people's capacities, skills and motivations.
• Human Resources Development (HRD) is one of two major models that managers must understand to perform total quality management.
• HRD + OD = TQM

Human Resources Development Model

• The eight catagories of this OD MODEL are organized into three groups based on needs.
• Each group defines a level of training, development and education needed to be competitive.
• Each HRD catagory represents a set of skills that must be recognized, met, and sustained to maximize productivity.
