the 'action learning' approach

Our programmes make extensive use of the action learning approach as developed by Professor Reg Revans. The Action Learning philosophy is based on the concept of:
L = P+Q
This means that Learning [L] is based on Programmed Knowledge [P] (the things that can be taught) plus Questioning Skills [Q] (the ability to apply what has been taught to 'messy' real life problems) across a wide range of situations. So advocates of Action Learning believe that people learn by doing. Thus Action Learning is an effective way of ensuring that learning in the workshop is translated into action in the work place. As part of this service we identify which of the five classic Action Learning formats dovetail most closely with the goals of the programme and give detailed advice on how to correctly structure the elements of each format e.g. project selection, choice of client, role of the advisor etc.

We are members of IFAL. See links for further information.
