Introduction
Action learning can be defined as a process in which a group of people come together more or less regularly to help each other to learn from their experience.
It was used across different organisations. That is, the participants typically came from different situations, where each of them was involved in different activities and faced individual problems. Most commonly the participants have been managers, though this is not essential.
The current practice more often now is to set up an action learning program within one organisation. It is not unusual for a team to consist of people with a common task or problem.
There may or may not be a facilitator for the learning groups which are formed. Some practioners of the methodology avoided them. Current practice is mostly to use them.
