Experiential action learning
Experiential action-learning is used to help delegates refine new skills and embed them into their everyday working practice.
Experiential, action learning works best when there are agreed assignments or a project to take back to everyday working practices. For example the assignment may be; managers are encouraged to recognise, reward and celebrate success or a project such as organising and communicating a managers conference.
This may also translate to a specific challenge a delegate has. At the start of each session – time is put aside to talk through challenge and to encourage peers to join in with supporting ideas to further forward the learning.
Working with ‘live-issues’ in this way embeds learning and helps delegates use the new found skills in a safe way. We also recommend organisations have ‘action-learning’ champions or facilitators for greater success of action learning groups or sets.
