According to Bassi, practitioners are being bombarded with new HRD (human resource development) dilemmas at accelerating rates of speed. Yet the means to create and disseminate research‐based solutions to these dilemmas remain unchanged. They tend to be slow, cumbersome, and difficult for practitioners to access. The committee has several initiatives under way that are aimed at addressing the practitioner‐researcher gap:
