Action learning sets can help collectively discuss real issues and devise solutions

Action learning sets are structured meetings where small groups of people meet together to collectively discuss real issues and devise solutions that address these issues.

Who is it for?

This initiative is targeted at all managers and leaders across the university.

The purpose

The current pandemic has impacted everyone in different ways and the current home working norm has isolated many employees. Participants at initiatives set up for managers and leaders across the university have suggested that they'd like to meet and support each other and the action learning set structure lends itself to meeting this need. The issues will be brought by the participants and the expertise within each group will be used to solve the issues presented. This programme of meetings will be set up for the next six months after which the groups can continue, self managed, or be disbanded, depending on the individual and institutional need.
