Action Learning 

Action Learning (AL) has been widely used for over fifty years as a highly effective problem solving and personal development process. It is a form of learning "from doing", where the classroom is the job environment or an individual’s personal surroundings, and where emphasis is placed on an individual’s responsibility for their own learning, although supportive but challenging learning partnerships are made available. More recently it has been used to provide a common language for knowledge sharing and sense making particularly in networks and groups e.g. communities of practice.

 Since the mid-90's TLA has been at the forefront in the introduction and implementation of AL in Canada through its sponsorship of the Canadian Chapter of The International Foundation for Action Learning (IFAL), and internationally in collaboration with other IFAL Chapters and AL collaboratives. TLA’s Staff Consultants and/or Associates make available AL consultancy, familiarization workshops, process groups, and facilitator training and certification programmes.

 Together with its worldwide partners TLA has the knowhow and experience to help you readily become familiar with the processes and benefits of AL, and to assist you in successfully implementing or upgrading your AL-related initiatives.
