You can think of HRD in more than one way. Our preferred definition of HRD describes HRD as a process. Using the process perspective, HRD can be thought of as both a system and a journey.

At the definitional level, it is useful to think about HRD as a process and specifically as a process open to engaging different people at different times and to locating HRD in different places inside and outside the host organization.
