What is Action Learning?



Action Learning is a method of collaborative learning. Based on small groups of 5-8 people, participants meet together to discuss work related issues and support each other in their learning. This process gives members the ‘gift of time’ to explore the problems in a supportive environment which helps them to find possibilities and opportunities they may not have been able to come to themselves.



How will the  Action Learning process operate?



The process is simple in principle – individual members present a problem, have their thinking provoked by the questions of fellow group members to help them generate some ideas they can take away and try out.




Generally the process will involve:

A member presents an issue



Rest of group get involved in helping the problem holder explore their issue and assumptions/barriers surrounding it



Use of questioning and co-coaching methods to help member think, analyse and see issue from different perspectives



Group generating ideas and potential solutions for individual
