(2- and 3-day Workshops)
Action Learning Sets have many applications: creative problem solving, manager support, project development, change management.
Action learning also enables participants to introduce their teams to coaching skills. It is therefore an excellent way to develop a coaching culture within the organisation.
Suitable for: Specifically for people employed within the public, private and the not-for-profit sectors who have some training or facilitation experience, this workshop covers action learning set theory, format and skills. No previous knowledge of action learning is required.
