HRD is no longer “training and development,” instead it is played out in the boundaries between individuals and amongst communities and societies. Lee 2007 established a case for the adoption of a holistic perspective of HRD and argued that we are moving into a world of shifting boundaries, conflict, and change This article extends the argument to examine more closely the nature of HRD in relation to the challenges that are faced; question what it is about the nature of HRD that might lend itself to mediating the future; and outlines some examples and dilemmas that are exposed by this.
