Description
Summary:This article demonstrates how future trends in action learning align with the forecasted changes in the field of human resource development. The areas of action learning’s potential impact include globalization, strategic planning and decision making, leadership development, and service learning, all of which will be sustained and enabled by technology. As action learning assumes a greater role in organizations’ prospective learning and development, new implementations are emerging. The initiatives presented here explore new developments and wider applications of action learning, supporting the premise that action learning will be just as viable and effective in the future as it is in the present. Possible future challenges and potential obstacles are also cited.
