Action Learning

There are times that peers either in the same company or at the same level professionally find it highly beneficial to  share their challenges as well as their expertise. Action Learning is a specific process to accelerate learning, working with real problems and focuses on implementing solutions. It offers the opportunity to listen to peers and to learn from their constructive comments. 

Pure Potential facilitates such events.  The assigned coach acts as facilitator to ensure an open and supportive environment, so that everyone in the group can learn and develop. Typically, the action learning set (numbering eight to ten people) come together for two hours each month and focus on the areas that they agree upon as a group.

Benefits:

• It helps resolve long-standing, complex workplace issues.
• It creates opportunities for the transfer of learning and expertise.
• It builds leadership capability.
• It encourages participants to take charge of their own problems and to deal with them honestly.

Facilitation

Many teams both at board and strategic level fail to make the best of their time together to focus on the critical decisions they have to take. Very often a senior manager dominates and much of the agenda is hijacked by issues that preoccupy them rather than the original purpose of the meeting. This results in frustration and disengagement by the other team members. When a neutral external professional facilitator is engaged by the Board for the day or half-day, it can transform the nature and the results from such a vital meeting and use such high-earning executives’ time more productively.

Experienced facilitators bring the added advantage of bring:

• Active listening and observing
• Insightful questioning
• Neutral management of information

They address the fundamental problems of company sessions which tend to challenging because of issues to do with:

• Control
• Time
• Neutrality
• Risk and
• Confusion over roles and responsibilities
