Work on real problems within a safe, confidential framework and implement solutions with the support of a coach & peers.

UTCT Action/Peer Learning applies an accredited structured format (World Institute of Action Learning) the principles of Reg Revans and the guidance of an experienced group learning facilitator/action learning coach.

Each ‘Set’ consists of a small number of individuals committed to meeting up to create a confidential, supportive and challenging group for the agreed duration of the Set. Sets are physical or virtual, made up of in-house teams or independents.

Develop skills such as active listening, curious non-judgemental questioning, reflective practice and action planning. By working co-operatively, objectively and outside of any heirarchies on real immediate issues, the group can move to a higher level of learning.

Participants gain:

  • space for reflection & critical thinking

  • learning to take back to the workplace

  • support, challenge, insight & alternative perspectives

  • new knowledge, ideas and ways to bring about change

  • chance to test beliefs, assumptions and ideas

  • professional development & leadership skills

  • sense of connection and access to new networks

  • greater self-awareness and emotional intelligence
