If you are interested in starting an action learning set for executive coaching, there are several steps to take. Firstly, identify a real, urgent, and important problem that has no obvious or simple solution. Secondly, find a facilitator who is neutral, skilled, and experienced in action learning. Thirdly, recruit a diverse group of peers who are willing to join your set – the group should be small (4-8 members), cross-functional, and committed to learning and solving the problem. After that, agree on the ground rules, logistics, and expectations of your set. This includes confidentiality, respect, accountability, frequency, duration, location of meetings, goals, roles and responsibilities of your set. Finally, start your action learning sessions and follow the cycle of present, question, reflect, act and review. Be prepared to learn from each other and challenge each other in your problem-solving journey.
