Action Learning at Work

The Action Learning approach to management development, based on the pioneering work of Reg Revans, is well known among human resource specialists. In this book Professor Mumford, himself a leading exponent of Action Learning, has brought together more than 34 articles and papers on the subject from a variety of sources. They reflect the experience not only of those responsible for AL programmes but also of learners and client organizations. A wide range of issues is addressed, from underlying philosophy to evaluation, from the learning process itself to ways of integrating the 'P' and the 'Q' of Revans' famous equation.All the material in this absorbing collection derives from the work of International Management Centres, a business school dedicated to the Action Learning approach. The result is a treasure trove of insights and practical guidance for anyone involved in, or contemplating, an AL programme - and indeed for anyone concerned with improving managerial performance.
