Abstract
Describes a new methodology “outcomes‐driven performance learning and development” (performance learning or PL) which addresses shortcomings often evident in the practice of action learning. These shortcomings include lack of systemic strategic framing, problem‐structuring, problem‐solving and learning processes founded narrowly on the scientific method without regard for readily accessible up‐to‐date tools and methods; and lack of routine explicit exploration of mindsets and other “soft” factors important to personal development. Demonstrates that performance learning is consistent with the aims of Revans’ Systems Beta, Alpha and Gamma. Concludes that performance learning is uniquely relevant to the development of a learning organization.Keywords
