The Four C approach defines a method to assist human resource development professionals design strategic global training in a multinational environment. The method was developed from an analysis of published global HRD articles and two books. Four common elements were discovered during the review of the design and development of global HRD. Cooperation, collaboration, communication, and culture are the Four Cs that form the backbone of any global HRD organization. This approach is at the conceptual level with the mechanics of implementation left up to the HRD professional. Each section of the Four Cs presents the definition, discuss application, and summarize implementation. The opinion of the author is presented in the context of instructional system design to facilitate understanding the Four Cs.
