ACTION LEARNING: creating breakthrough solutions, developing individuals, teams and leaders.

 

In the last 15 years, Action Learning has emerged as a vital process used by organizations around the world to create innovative solutions and solve their critical and complex challenges. It has concurrently become a significant platform for developing leaders, building teams, and improving corporate capabilities to respond in rapidly changing environments.  

At its basics, Action Learning is a group process that involves people seeking solutions to a significant business challenge or problem, focusing on the learning acquired, and implementing practical solutions that considers system-wide impact. At the heart of the action learning process is the design of ‘learning by doing’.

As action learning centers on real-time, strategic issues of the organization, it deliberately sets up situations in which participants deep dive into the realities of the organizations’ real-time environment with a genuine challenge in search of solutions, while developing mindsets as participants learn about the organization from a diverse perspectives.

Achieving ROI results for developing teams and generating real solutions to challenges

Action Learning answers the questions - How can we enable teams to resolve real-time challenges and yet learn at the same time within the time constraints of businesses? How can we ensure we get ROI on people development – that training time is well spent with quality application of learning that can impact businesses?

Action learning programmes have become instrumental in a variety of ways, including helping organizations by:

  • Creating breakthroughs in new products and services

  • Expanding customer base and improving market positions

  • Developing leadership competencies and self awareness

  • Accelerating learning and exposure for hi-potentials, new staff or management

  • Developing teamwork in cross-cultural teams, promoting inter-departmental collaboration

  • Engaging Generation Y workers

With the right action learning design, companies can connect and develop its people on an affordable budget, with ROI and other tangible benefits that vastly surpass what one can derive from traditional training and educational programs.
