Action Learning Benefits

Action Learning helps organizations solve urgent problems, build high-performing teams, and develop leaders — all at the same time. See how individuals, teams, and organizations get more out of their business with WIAL.

Breakthrough problem solving

We help organizations boost business performance, achieve a substantial return on investment, and improve capability. Action Learning helps teams identify the core issue behind a problem, explore solutions they may not have considered, and move forward when decisions have stalled — so they arrive at the best possible resolution.

Becoming a learning organization

In a competitive environment, organizations must continually learn and improve. WIAL developed a Learning Organization model built on five interlocking systems — Learning, Organization, People, Knowledge, and Technology — along with an assessment instrument to measure where your organization stands.

The model has been successfully implemented at organizations including Boeing, Accenture, Samsung, Federal Express, and Alcoa.

High-performing teams

Action Learning develops powerful work teams that get up to speed quickly, with strong norms and cohesiveness. Teams improve their problem-solving capability with every session, build shared commitment to results, and encourage breakthrough thinking. Companies such as Microsoft, Samsung, and Siemens use Action Learning to build their teams.

Leadership development

WIAL integrates Action Learning into your existing leadership development programs with minimal restructuring. The process builds your team's capacity to resolve complex challenges while developing the management skills leaders need for the 21st century.

Community impact

WIAL helps create a better world by supporting organizations that make a positive social impact — providing pro-bono coaching and grant funding for nonprofits and social enterprises.

Challenging the status quo

Across all of these areas, the Action Learning process delivers:

  • Lasting behavior change

  • High-performance teams
