What Do We Mean By “Generations of the Field”?
• Ways of thinking about the field have been changing “at the speed of business”
• Each new viewpoint represents a paradigm shift—a new way of thinking
• There are no “right” or “wrong” ways to think
• Each generation carries with it ideas from previous generations
![Page 11: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What Do We Mean By “Generations of the Field”?
• The appropriate generation is the one best-suited for the business needs of your nation and/or your organization
• Each generation is punctuated by a competency study that codifies and explains it—and the role of practitioners
![Page 12: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Generation 1: Training and Development• For many years the focus of our field was
on training alone• Training is an activity, a change effort
designed to change individuals by equipping them with knowledge, skill and attitudes
![Page 13: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Generation 1: Training and Development
• Training can focus on off-the-job training in groups, off-the-job training for individuals, on-the-job training in groups, on-the-job training for individuals, e-learning for groups, and e-learning for individuals
• Much time and attention has historically been focused on what type of training?
• Why were the other types not so much a focus of attention?
![Page 14: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Generation 1: Training and Development
• ASTD sponsored two important competency studies that described the training field
• The first modern competency study of the field was Patricia McLagan’s Models for excellence (1983)
![Page 15: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Generation 2: Human Resource Development (HRD)
• Human Resource Development (HRD) is defined as the integrated use of training, organization development and career development
• HRD changes individuals through activities both at present (through training) and in the future (through career development) as well as changes the work environment (OD)
![Page 16: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Generation 2: Human Resource Development (HRD)
• The competency study that codified and defined this generation was McLagan, P. (1989). Models for HRD practice. 4 vols. Alexandria, VA: The American Society for Training and Development.
![Page 17: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Generation 3: Human Performance Improvement (Performance Consulting)
• Human Performance Improvement (HPI) is the process of identifying the root cause(s) of human performance problems and finding solutions or interventions to address those causes
• HPI is interested in results, not activities• HPI uses any or all means to achieve results
![Page 18: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The competency study defining this generation was Rothwell, W. (1996). ASTD models for human performance improvement. Alexandria, VA: The American Society for Training and Development; and Rothwell, W. (Ed.). (2000). ASTD models for human performance. 2nd ed. Alexandria, VA: The American Society for Training and Development.
Generation 3: Human Performance Improvement (Performance Consulting)
![Page 19: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
So What Does It All Mean?
The field has:• Broadened in scope beyond efforts to
change individuals and beyond activities like training to focus on whatever it takes to get results and improvement
• Moved away from single solutions to all problems
• Become more demanding in practice
![Page 20: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Generation 4: Workplace Learning and Performance
Workplace Learning and Performance (WLP) is defined as “the integrated use of learning and other interventions for the purpose of improving human performance, and addressing individual and organizational needs. It uses a systematic process of analyzing and responding to individual, group, and organizational performance issues. It creates positive, progressive change within organizations by balancing humanistic and ethical considerations” (Rothwell, Sanders & Soper, 1999, p. 121).
![Page 21: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Generation 4: Workplace Learning and Performance
• WLP reinvents HRD in light of HPI• WLP emphasizes learning as a tool for achieving
improved work performance in organizational settings• Unlike training, which is done to people, learning is
something that is done by people• The competency study defining this generation was
Rothwell, W., Sanders, E., & Soper, J. (1999). ASTD models for workplace learning and performance. Alexandria, VA: The American Society for Training and Development.

An Old Chinese Saying Retold
“Fish for people, and they can eat for one day; teach people how to fish and they can feed themselves; help people learn how to learn and they can discover new ways to feed themselves and others.”
-- William J. Rothwell, 1998
![Page 24: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Generation 5: The Workplace Learner
• This generation is emerging • The Workplace Learner generation focuses on
individual change through learning, not training• Learning is a means to achieve the end of improved
performance • Learning helps individuals become and maintain
employability• A focus on learning implies a new role for the trainer,
HRD professional, HPI practitioner, or WLP practitioner
![Page 25: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Generation 5: The Workplace Learner
• The driver for this generation is that many people are able to become Free Agent Learners when they have nobody between them and the instruction—which is what happens with technology-assisted instruction
• The focus of attention in this generation is on what it takes to become a more competent learner

What Is a Learning Competency?
• A learning competency is a characteristic that distinguishes a superior from a fully-successful learner
• Authors Lombardo and Eichinger believe that High Potential (HiPo) performers are chiefly distinguished from others because they are superior learners
![Page 28: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What Is Learning Climate?
Learning climate refers to:
• Recognition that learning occurs in a unique corporate cultural context
• The operational characteristics of a learning organization
• What the organization does to encourage or discourage real-time individual learning
![Page 29: Conference Take Aways: What Are They, and How Can You Use Them? By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP By William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, CTDP](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649cf05503460f949becfc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• CEO expectations for the field are different from what trainers have traditionally thought about their own roles, competencies and outputs
• An important stakeholder, who controls organizational resources, has never been systematically examined before now

So What Does It All Mean?The field has:• Continued to broaden in scope beyond efforts to change
individuals • Focused increasingly on the relationship between workplace
learning and performance, linking the two together• Taken a broader view of development than simply training,
recognizing that most development occurs on the job• Increased its sensitivity to the results gained by
developmental efforts
