Course Description

Most businesses and organisations rely heavily on teamwork to achieve a shared successful outcome, but what if these teams are not working together to the best of their ability. As an action learning facilitator you can help groups of people work together more effectively and engage in a positive way to achieve their mutual goals. This course – the first of its kind in the UK – will allow you to gain a greater understanding of how people work and learn together by tackling issues and reflecting on their actions. 



You will develop the skills to run meetings between small groups to reflect on and review steps that need taking – known as action learning sets. By laying down ground rules for leaders and managers working together, you will help people question, listen and reflect, and find solutions to real work problems through group discussion.

You will enhance your people awareness skills as you learn to dig deeper into team-working and become effective at facilitating and directing groups to achieve meaningful change, improve effectiveness and boost productivity within an organisation
