Action Learning (AL) is a form of learning by doing. It involves working on real problems, focusing on learning and actually implementing solutions. By using the knowledge and skills of a small group of people combined with skilled questioning, individuals are enabled to re-interpret old and familiar concepts to produce fresh ideas.
Business Driven Action Learning (BDAL) is a process for bringing together a group of executives with varied levels of responsibilities, skills and experience to analyze an actual work problem and develop an action plan. It is a holistic process of developing leadership and achieving business results for the benefit of the organization, the team and the individual.
BDAL involves the collective intelligence and reflection of the group, and the integration of experiences and knowledge from the outside-in.
