Abstract

Action learning has deep roots and has been practiced in the business world for 55 years, ever since Reg Revans (1907–2003), action learning’s founder, organized his first program for coal mine managers in 1954. It has an extensive following among enterprises of all shapes and sizes, and throughout the business world. For two decades now, companies have listed “action learning” as one of the most effective approaches to their executive and management education and development.1 And some prominent professors of management and leadership — Warren Bennis, for example — tell us that action learning is the wave of the future.2
