Transformative Action Learning in the U.S. Government

Robert Kramer and James L. Kelly

Chapter 3 in Action Learning and its Applications, 2010, pp 43-54 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract From 2002 until 2005, Robert Kramer served as director of the executive leadership Master of Public Administration (MPA) program at American University (AU) in Washington, DC. An executive cohort at AU consisted of about 20 participants, most of whom were senior officials in the US government or military. On taking over as director, Kramer’s first challenge was to address the problem of transfer of learning from the classroom to the workplace, a problem that had languished at AU — and at every other university teaching public administration — for decades.
