Description

Action learning is a way of working in small groups with other people in similar roles in order to work on real issues and thereby improve effectiveness. It is aimed at developing a skilled response in the person whose issues are worked on as well as in the other members of the set. It is a vehicle for problem solving, self-discovery and for finding solutions to 'wicked' problems - i.e. those which defy common sense or obvious solutions because every solution seems to cause a problem for someone or something else. It is suited to situations where the stock of uncontested knowledge is small, where practice leads theory and where self-awareness is critically important. Experience suggests that it works best with more senior rather than less senior people. This may be because the more senior people are, the less likely they are to have a confidante, or it may reflect the more complex and ambiguous nature of their problems.
