The authors advocate tailoring the best attributes of each approach to the specific purpose and the learning environment. Drawing on theory from Self-Directed Learning, Learning from Experience, and Transformative Learning, Understanding Action Learning enables the reader to make an informed decision about which approach or combination to use in his or her organization, and provides:
• a theoretical model that explains the different approaches to AL, and a framework for identifying which approach to use
• a focus on co-design in creating Action Learning programs
• practical tools, assessments, and exercises
• illuminating stories and case studies from the field
Combining top-shelf research with real-world experience, Understanding Action Learning is a crucial resource for adult educators everywhere.

Readers may never think of learning, training, or teaching the same way again! Building on the pioneering fundamentals of effective adult learning and many of the core principles of today’s popular action learning methodology, Action Reflection Learning delivers a next-generation approach that will transform the way adult learning takes place. Through dozens of stories of real people, making real changes in the way adult learners learn, the authors demonstrate how to apply these methods and techniques to design and implement more effective learning interventions in any number of settings—from leadership development workshops to one-on-one coaching.
