Benefits Derived from Action Learning
Action Learning benefits the organisation as a whole and its members individually and in teams.
Action Learning can:
- Assist succession planning by developing a cadre of highly qualified candidates for promotion to executive leadership positions.
- Deepen participants' confidence in their leadership and team participation skills.
- Enable participants to establish effective, mutually respectful working relationships with co-workers at all organisational levels.
- Develop competence among individuals and teams in problem-solving and decision-making processes.
- Relate action research/action learning theory and methods to organisational challenges.
- Enhance participants' capacity to reflect on and learn from their individual and collective experiences.
- Develop in participants an awareness of how their implicit assumptions, beliefs, attitudes, preferences, and organisational interests influence their thinking, decisions and actions.
- Increase competence in preparing and presenting recommendations concerning urgent organisational issues to executive management.
