Action learning groups can encourage collaboration across organizational boundaries. Action learning can support team building, shared problem solving, re-establishing cohesion following a reorganization and cross-enterprise initiatives in such areas as IT, security, environment and building people-management skills. The great attraction of action learning is its unique power to simultaneously solve difficult challenges and develop people and organizations at minimal costs to institutions. Action learning groups support the development of leaders at all levels and can be configured to support knowledge transfer or to tackle challenges related to inter-generational leadership.
