Action Learning Sets

Action Learning Sets (ALS) are a group based (hence ‘sets’), structured process of self-managed learning (development and support) resulting in action. 


Reg Revans (1907 – 2003) the grandfather of ALS, said that they were essentially “Comrades in adversity helping each other”, which I think sums it up nicely and perhaps underpins, why they may be so helpful in supporting colleagues today in the health, social and community care system.


Reg Revans adds that “The process integrates research (into what is obscure), learning (about what is unknown) and action (to resolve a problem) into a single activity and develops an attitude of questioning and reflection to help individuals respond effectively in a rapidly changing world.”


Action Learning in a Thinking Environment

Nancy Kline, who has written extensively on how we can improve the quality of our thinking, says that...

"The quality of everything we do, depends on the quality of the thinking we do first."


ALS groups, create a space where we can all improve the quality of our thinking, so we can improve the quality of our doing.

How we can work together

This programme has been developed over many years to provide a safe and encouraging space for  you to learn the components of a Thinking Environment and how they apply to action learning.


You will be invited to participate in an ALS group as part of the training and to establish a group to work with after the first day.


To support the initial full-day training, an additional half day follow-up is offered.  This builds on your ALS facilitation experience and provides an additional opportunity to facilitate an ALS, with my support.
