Action Learning Set Brief:
Action Learning is a powerful development experience for leaders. It brings people together to exchange, support and challenge each other in action and learning.
BUFDG is partnering with ARMA, AUDE, CHEIA, HEPA, HESPA, SCONUL, UCISA and UHR (our equivalent for professionals across the Research, Estates, Internal Audit, Strategic Planning, Libraries, IT and HR) to offer action learning to Senior Leaders.
What is an Action Learning Set?
An Action Learning Set is a small, confidential forum where each participant brings to the meeting an organisational task, problem, challenge or opportunity on which they intend to act. Having presented the issue to the group, other participants pose questions and raise discussions which help the presenter create insight and options for action. A structured process, supported by a skilled facilitator, is used to ensure that everyone has personal ‘air-time’ as well as the opportunity to contribute to the learning of others. It is through the experience of taking action on return to the workplace that promotes reflection, learning and personal development. Given breadth of knowledge and wider HE understanding is a valuable development experience, these Action Learning Sets provide a fantastic opportunity to learn from others across the sector.
What are the benefits?
Our facilitator, Lesley Broughton, has outlined the benefits as follows:
Who can join?
These Action Learning Sets are aimed at Senior Leaders (Assistant / Deputy Directors / Head of – or equivalent). The sets are being offered to aspiring leaders across the 8 associations to ensure a good mix of professions are represented in each. There will be 5 participants per set.
How much will it cost?
The rate will be £450 (excluding VAT) per candidate for the full set of 6 half day sessions. All sessions will be delivered on-line with the facilitator.
When will the Action Learning Sets take place?
There will be 6 x half -day sessions, held at 6 week intervals across an 5 month period. Many sets continue to meet on a ‘self-managed’ basis after the initial series of sessions have finalised. It is critical that candidates commit to attending all the dates within the set.
We have 2 proposed ‘set’ dates – you need to be able to attend all day in the set. They run from 9.30am-12.30pm.
Set A. 4th March, 11th March, 15th April, 22nd April, 27th May and 3rd June
Set B. 5th March, 12th March, 16th April, 23rd April, 28th May and 4th June.
We are hoping to run both sets, but this will depend on levels of interest and a good mix of candidates for each set.
Where will the meetings take place?
All meetings will be taking place on-line, no travel is required.
