Action Learning Group
This is a group of up to 8 people, within a workplace, who meet regularly to solve work problems / issues / challenges. The aim is that by asking questions about the problem presented and reflective listening, solutions can be identified, and a course of action determined. Participants learn by reflecting on the contribution of others, on the ideas raised as a result of questioning and the success of subsequent action. A facilitator will ensure ground rules are set and adhered to and learning is clarified. The facilitator will intervene during the sessions to identify learning opportunities.
