Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The productivity of organisations is determined by the efficiency of their processes and the effectiveness of their people. For 'new' organisations this means starting with a culture that rewards productive behavior. Achieving this in mature organisations however means going through difficult a process of transition to change the existing culture to one that rewards productive behavior. This is difficult in mature organisations where custom and practice live in every part of the organisation. No one individual is the custodian of the organisations values, all employees are part of them and most work there because these values satisfy their needs. Thus to change the culture of mature organisations, we need a means of involving everyone in the change process. In-Plant Action Learning does this; it empowers employees by involving them, either directly or indirectly in the change process through an interlocking network of project teams.If you are seeking a reliable means of delivering organisational change In-Plant Action Learning is for you. This book is explains how the process works and leads the reader through the development and running their own programs.If you want to do it through them rather than to them, In-Plant Action Learning is for you

Download or read book Action Learning Applications written by George P. Boulden and published by George Boulden. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Action Learning is the brain-child of Professor Reginald (Reg) Revans. Revans believed that management was a practical subject carried out by practical people in the real world of work, not an academic subject to be taught by University Professors who had no experience of the real world of work. Action learning uses the participant's actual job to identify and satisfy real learning needs; the specific Knowledge, Skills, Experience and Behavior appropriate to the situation. Unlike training It provides a 'holistic' framework through which all four aspects of our behavioral 'package' are objectively assessed by the facilitator and 'comrades in adversity' to help participants identify the things they need to change to be successful. These needs once identified are met through a development program created and monitored with the help and support of the facilitator and colleagues in the set. This book; 1. Explains the philosophy of Action Learning 2. Describes the various models and their application. 3. Provides an objective analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the various options 4. Examines how Action Learning can help in today's world to develop organisations and their people. 5. Offers reference information for those who would like to learn more. Note. Whilst Reg's focus for Action Learning was on management development this process is equally applicable to any personal or organisational development need. We hope you will find this book useful and are happy to help interested readers with further information or advice on specific program design and management.

This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breakthrough Problem Solving with Action Learning explores why and how action learning groups have been so successful and creative in solving complex problems. The text begins by briefly reviewing the theories that undergird the effectiveness of action learning, philosophically situating readers and pointing them in the direction of related academic works that they may wish to explore. It then turns to stories of how organizations have employed action learning in solving specific, often-encountered business problems.

The book concludes with a cross-case analysis that pinpoints the ingredients necessary for breakthrough problem solving via action learning.

Download or read book Action Learning written by Wojciech W. Gasparski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praxiology is the study of working and doing from the point of view of effectiveness. It has three components: analysis of concepts involving purposive actions; critique of modes of action from the viewpoint of efficiency; and normative advisory aspects in recommen-dations for increasing human efficacy. This sixth volume of the Praxiology series fo-cuses on action learning. Learning from distinguishable action is surprisingly different than learning from a sub-ject expert in human or book form. For those who have worked with and in action learn-ing, the latest form is always distinguishably different from a former experience. Action learning programs are not, in general, intended to tackle puzzles, namely, questions to which an answer may be said to exist even if that answer is difficult to find; action learn-ing is intended to help to develop the ability to tackle problems or opportunities, of which different persons, all experienced, intelligent, and motivated, might well advocate differ-ent courses of action, all reasonable. The essentials of action learning, according to this volume, are: there can be no learning unless the participant receives feedback about his/her performance; partici-pants learn only of their own volition and never at the will of others; the volition to learn is most readily engendered by the lure of success or by the fear of calamity. Building upon these essentials, the authors view action learning as a process of inquiry begin-ning with the experience of not knowing what to do next, and finding that an answer is not available from current expertise. All chapters in this volume are sound contributions to the continuing debate on the processes of learning from distinguishable action. Action Learning is intriguing reading for sociologists, philosophers, managers, and research-ers of all disciplines.

Download or read book Action Learning in Schools written by Peter Aubusson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching is becoming increasingly complex in the 21st Century, creating a need for more sophisticated frameworks to support teachers’ professional learning. Action learning is one such framework and has been used for workplace learning in business settings for many years. It is now becoming increasingly popular in school and university settings, but it is often misunderstood. This book clarifies what action learning is, linking key concepts to illustrate that it is not merely a process, but a dynamic interaction between professional learning, communities, leadership and change. The book brings together more than a decade of the authors’ research in school-based action learning. Rich and diverse, the research draws on more than 100 case studies of action learning by teams of teachers in schools. The authors: provide practical advice on how to initiate and sustain action learning; explain the interaction between action learning, teacher development, professional learning, community building, leadership and change; and illustrate how action learning can link to classroom practice so closely that it becomes part of what teachers do, rather than an added impost. Addressing the highs and lows, the successes and failures, and their underlying causes, Action Learning in Schools provides insights into theories of cooperation, innovation, leadership and community formation to inform individual projects and large-scale school improvement initiatives. It will be of interest to teacher educators, pre-service and experienced teachers alike, as well as school and education system managers and policymakers keen to enhance teacher professional learning and educational outcomes for students.
