An open system continuously interacts with its environment. If you think of training as an open system, we can see that the needs of the trainees must be considered by the training development process. Training needs would be input of the process, and the output would be the training. A training process that does not interact with its environment would probably not be able to meet the training needs because it has no way of knowing what the training needs are.

An open system model: •Depends on the environment for inputs •Environmental inputs are transformed into outputs •In effective systems, the system output influences the environment to supply new supportive inputs A system must be responsive to the needs and demands of its environment because environment provides the input needed for the system to continue and replenish itself. Training is a subsystem within a larger human resource unit. Inputs: Organizational Needs, Training budget, Staff, Equipment Outputs: Improved knowledge, skills, and attitudes, Job performance Looking at training from an open systems perspective shows how interconnected training activities are with what is happening elsewhere in the organization. Training Process Model: ADDIE All training processes are critical to the success of training. An effective training system is a set of processes designed to transform organizational inputs into outputs that meet the organizational needs. Training should be viewed as a set of integrated processes in which organizational and employee needs are analyzed and responded to in a rational, logical and strategic manner.

The ADDIE training process model is a 5 step process for developing effective training programs. The acronym ADDIE stands for Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. Each stage of the model has a specific purpose, and serves as a foundation and input for the next phase, ensuring an effective and comprehensive approach to training.
