Action learning is learning and skill-building while working to solve real business issues. It is a methodology and philosophy of education and development that can result in breakthrough business results and provides individual leadership development and organizational learning. The focus is on developing leadership, fostering teamwork and solving real strategic business issues. It is learning while doing and can be adopted for “just-in-time” learning for any business and all levels within an organization.

Based on over 25 years of experience in developing individual leaders and improving organizational performance, Executive Development Consulting’s action learning programs are designed around the following proven assumptions:

Executives learn best by working on real business issues

Some of the best business solutions come from internal company leaders rather than outside consulting organizations

Teamwork and coaching are essential ingredients to individual and organizational learning

Successful executives recognize the balance between achieving business results and developing effective leadership

Action learning programs as practiced in some of the best companies around the world integrate five key elements:

The active involvement and support of senior executives

Participants work in teams on real business issues and explore new strategic business opportunities

Action research and learning is focused on internal and external company experiences

Leadership development is accomplished through teamwork and coaching

Follow up on the business issues and leadership development is included in the initial design

Results of action learning programs include recommendations for addressing strategic business issues which are often implemented thus improving business results. At the same time, the organization develops its leaders and much of the learning can be applied to an individual’s function and business. It is a win-win approach to leadership development.
