Stakeholder Analysis as a Tool for Systems Approach Research in HRD

The
world is experiencing significant, largely economic and sociotechnical, induced
change. These induced changes are meaningful with a function of people taking
collective actions around common beliefs. These changes are more than jargon,
cliché and hyperbole, and they are effecting major transformations. These transformations will impact on how human
resources are developed and we need to be able to forecast its effects. In
order to produce such forecasts, HRD needs to become more predictive - to
develop the ability to understand how human capital systems and organizations
will behave in future. Further development of systems models is required to
allow such predictions to be made. Critical to the development of such models
will be to understand that linear epistemology cannot be the dominant
epistemology of practice and that dynamic complexity of challenges confronted
by HRD professionals in their daily research and practice requires a nonlinear
epistemology of practice, rather than reductive or linear thinking or processes
of normal science. Although the adoption of a systems approach to research in
HRD is not novel, methodologies and conceptual approaches underlying it use are
not very well developed. In this paper, a stakeholder analysis methodology that
was developed as a novel method in conducting systems approach research in
human resource development, public policy and agricultural education is
described.
