A time for action among high fliers

Abstract

Any successful organization must have managers who return three times their value. The often‐quoted statistic is used by Hale and Margerison in their case study on GuinnessUDV, part of consumer goods giant Diageo. In an ever‐more competitive and global marketplace, companies must get the very best out of their most talented individuals. This will not happen by osmosis, and it isn’t an issue that can be left to chance. Action Learning aims to combine the best of both worlds in theory and practice, with workshop experience sitting alongside field experience. They are corporate leadership buzzwords and the USA even has university business school degree programs based on action learning.
