Virtual Action Learning Facilitation

Discover the real potential of Action Learning in its new form with our Virtual Action Learning Facilitation programme, and become a confident and successful facilitator.

Who is it for?
This programme is for you if you are

• a practicing Action Learning facilitator or
• interested in this learning methodology with no or little previous experience
• being asked by your clients to do more of your development and/or consulting work virtually
• looking for support in your first attempts to facilitate Virtual Action Learning.

What will I learn?
On this programme you will:

• gain an in-depth understanding of Virtual Action Learning (what is unique about this form of learning, how it is different and similar to face-to-face Action Learning)
• learn how to encourage intimacy and trust in the virtual space
• understand the concept of ‘presence’ in the virtual space and how to establish your own presence
• assess and increase your own impact in the virtual space
• understand and work effectively with the dynamics of virtual groups
• develop robust facilitation skills for Virtual Action Learning
• learn through practising Virtual Action Learning.

What does the programme cover?
The Virtual Action Learning Facilitation programme has been developed as a result of four years of research. You will benefit from all the models and approaches that we have been using successfully with our own clients for more than three years. We will also share with you several concrete cases of facilitation of Audio Action Learning that we have encountered during these years. You will be given the opportunity to facilitate sessions of Audio Action Learning and receive feedback from the other participants and the facilitators. This programme will not only enable you to facilitate successful Audio Action Learning sessions, but also to achieve successful virtual one-to-one coaching and virtual team coaching.

The programme is:

• totally virtual
• highly experiential
• practice oriented
• stretching!

Our Approach

Our approach is based on four years of research. One of our findings was that even experienced Action Learning facilitators have found that their attempts to facilitate virtual action learning have left them feeling unsatisfied and uncertain of its benefits.

This programme has been developed based on the model and approach that we have used successfully with our own clients for more than three years.

The programme is unique in that it is delivered totally virtually, from the initial two-hour briefing session, through the three-day virtual workshop and follow-on virtual action learning sessions. Additional one-to-one coaching is offered virtually too, where necessary.

The programme is highly experiential and based on your own practice. Participants will find it stretching and rewarding!

Duration:
Initial 2-hour briefing session,
3-day (3 x 5 hours) virtual workshop,
followed by 3 half-day (3 x 3 hours) virtual action learning sessions over 7-9 months.
Additional one-to-one coaching where necessary
