Action Learning Sets: A Practical Introduction
A key part of a manager’s role is to take risks, experiment and think what if... Essentially to do things differently. This is impossible to teach in a conventional context, you need time to consider current actions, reflect and then experiment. The best technique to describe this innovative learning style is ‘action learning’. This course will teach you the techniques to run and facilitate Action Learning Sets.

Teams who can challenge and support each other, find solutions to their own problems and take action to overcome them are an invaluable asset to any organisation. Action Learning is a powerful tool used in organisations as diverse as the US government and the European Environment Agency that will enable your staff to develop themselves and give them the confidence and capability to tackle their problems directly.
Action Learning is a powerful way to continually develop and reflect on your own practices. It is a supportive process that will allow you and your team to take action to solve any problems you may be facing with the support from your colleagues. It is an essential tool for any manager or aspiring leader to have at their disposal.
