What is action learning?
Action learning:
- Is an energetic, action-focused way of learning and
development that is based in real-life work and challenges rather
than abstract theory
- Is a disciplined way of learning that helps you make
sense of current issues that are affecting you at work
- Encourages you to experiment with new behaviours and
solutions whilst being pragmatic
- Helps you work with your peers in a collaborative and
shared spirit - the sum of an action learning set is greater than
its parts
How does action learning work?
Action learning occurs in a group called a 'set' - a space
where peers work in a supportive and collaborative way around real
issues that each are facing in their work and the group works to
identify solutions. The learning comes from both arriving at our
own action plans and through hearing others' challenges and
solutions. As a learning process, action learning is flexible yet
focused, dynamic and rigorous, and supportive yet
challenging.
