Change Theory in CPE and HRD: Toward a Holistic View of Learning and Change in Work

Abstract

The problem and the solution. Whereas human resource development, for the most part, addresses organizational levels of learning and change, continuing professional education focuses on these processes largely through the lens of individual practitioner learning and development. Each of these perspectives provides a helpful but incomplete notion of work-related learning and change.To increase their effectiveness, these fields need to be grounded in a more holistic understanding of workrelated learning and change and how it can be facilitated.
