Abstract
Human resource development (HRD) leaders have been challenged to become strategic business partners in order to link people, strategy, and performance. In spite of a critical need, there has not been an empirically testable systemic framework that pulls together the wide variety of strategic imperatives that have been suggested. This article presents a conceptual model identifying the essential system elements that provide a framework for how HRD might create and then sustain its full leadership potential as a strategic partner.
