- Abstract:
The role of action learning in promoting innovation and culture change is investigated within one medium-sized construction company. This case study was an exemplary part of a larger study to encourage small and medium-sized construction enterprises to engage in lifelong learning and implement good practice. Feedback from participants in this case study suggests that action learning can generate a motivated, committed and innovative management team, as well as better site management and leadership. Middle managers from different divisions in the company believe that action learning has given them a vital sense of involvement in the corporate development of the firm and a sense of empowerment in relation to senior management.
