So, I've read the module outline and have a brief idea how the process of creating impactful difference in Human Resource Development (HRD) looks from an academic perspective.

I've noted HRD Professionals and Consultants should, when aiding an organization:

• Highlight L&D Challenges, Difficulties and Obstacles is the starting point - Ascertain organization hurdles
• Follow Evidence-Based Philosophy - Briner's 6 A's in an organizational context
• Source Relevant HRD Data - Based on informed conversation, surveys, and feedback from colleagues
• Pinpoint a credible HRD Strategy - Decide on the approach
• Inspect and Engage Empirical Data - Run regressions, spot patterns that respond to and inform the challenge
• Create and Finalise HRD Policy - This is the final step in my notes from the module outline and involves amalgamating the challenges with relevant solutions that are most widely accepted to be unique to the original obstacle.

How close is this to the actual accepted process? 

NB: I also found that this optional module structure is very consistent with the other F93 modules (it includes critical perspectives, theory and practice, ethics, and sustainability), making the module content very digestible and much easier to follow.

Thank you Open University for a great welcome and equally impressive introduction to the module.
