12. Learning Community & Action Learning
In a Learning Community the learning occurs problem-related and
in particular cross-boundary; thinking and working outside the
current boundaries of organisation and business, of discipline
and geography.
Participants from different organisations or departments get to work
in groups - with each their own innovative project - in the way of
an Action Learning Practicum. Learning and practically
executing the project go hand in hand.
This results in a major step in the development of the participants in
the areas of personal development, management of change ,
strategic thinking and business development.
