Action Learning Teams
Action Learning is a process for bringing together a group of people (ideally 5-10) with varied levels of skills & experience to analyse a work problem & develop an action plan. The group continues to meet as actions are implemented, learning from the implementation & making corrections when needed.
Action Learning is a form of learning by doing.
You can use Action Learning to:
- Address problems & issues that are complex & not easily resolved
- Find solutions to underlying root causes of problems
- Determine a new strategic direction or to maximise new opportunities
How Action Learning can be applied:
- Convene a cross-section of people with a complementary mix of skills & expertise
- Intro session to clarify the objectives of the Action Learning Team (ALT)
- Facilitate meetings to analyze participant issues & identify action plans
- After a period of time, reconvene the ALT to discuss progress, lessons learned & next steps
Repeat the cycle of action & learning until the problem is resolved or new directions are determined - Document the learning process for future reference
