Action Learning and Excellence in Management Development

Abstract

Traditional management education sessions are based upon the usual lecture inputs on concepts, ideas and research. They are followed up by historical standard case studies, together with experiential simulations, all supported by group discussions. The process of action learning confronts the reality rather than studying a hypothetical situation. It confronts the use of skills in situ, rather than learn in one place and transfer the learning to another place. The article outlines how action learning can be applied to the process of management development and the key differences from the conventional approach.
