About Action Learning
Action Learning is at the heart of what we do. It’s a powerful method for problem solving, team-building, organizational learning, and leadership development, a method of choice for global companies, government agencies, and nonprofit groups that want to improve quality, cut costs, create new products and services, and change the cultures of their organizations.
What is the concept behind Action Learning?
Action Learning is unique in that its primary objective is to open up fields of possibility through open questioning rather than find answers within established boundaries. This method takes into account that the pursuit of silver bullets – single, right answers – can stifle creativity, and block chances to look at old problems in new ways.
The power of Action Learning comes from real people resolving and taking action on real problems in real time and learning while doing so.

Action Learning Workshops
Action Learning workshops are customized to meet your needs and can run from a half-day to multiple days. Participants will develop core strengths for problem-solving including:
CURIOSITY. One of the keys to successful leadership is a person’s ability to ask effective questions and to create an environment where people feel safe to ask meaningful questions. The impact questions can have on creating effective solutions is profound.
CREATIVITY. The pursuit of silver bullets – single, right answers – can stifle creativity, and block chances to look at old problems in new ways. Develop the patience to percolate over information, so you and your team can effectively tap into creative sources to incubate ideas and create the “aha” moment.
COLLABORATION. Intact or cross-organization teams quickly become strongly bonded. A unique ability to learn as a team emerges, as participants develop clarity, deep communication, and committed collaboration around strategies.
