- Action Learning
Powerful problem-solving approach.
Action Learning facilitation is a powerful group problem-solving approach based on the idea that people have an unlimited capacity to learn from experience but a limited capacity to learn from being taught. Action learning promotes fresh thinking and new ways of looking at and dealing with situations and is, as the name suggests, action-orientated.
New and deeper understanding.
Learning and reflection happen in a small, facilitated group (or set) of people who come together to offer support and challenge for a group of peers with the intention of moving issues and challenges forward. It provides a safe space where Set members assist the person in gaining a new and deeper understanding of an issue, topic, or challenge.
Fresh insights and solutions.
In Sets, members are exposed to different learning styles and alternative approaches to problem-solving. These can bring fresh insight and lead to the discovery of new solutions. Benefits include: providing space for 'out-loud' thinking and learning; being listened to without interruption; changes to approaches and behaviours and testing out new approaches and ideas.
