Chapter 1 in Action Learning, 2010, pp 3-28 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is designed to provide a thorough examination of traditional action learning, and the concepts and beliefs of its principal pioneer and founder, Reg Revans. As such, it is “pure” Revans — what he really believed and practiced. The chapter also shows how these roots of action learning have been adulterated, diluted and contradicted by later interpretations of how action learning should be practiced. Some profess alignment with what Revans believed, and then do something else that can be quite different.
