I am the Faculty Director of Action Learning at Asia School of Business established in collaboration with MIT Sloan, the most innovative MBA in the world. Action Learning is not just an academic tool, but also a corporate learning tool, that helps companies develop their talent pipeline.
What is action learning
Action Learning is the process of learning by doing, of taking the theoretical knowledge taught in class in the field, testing it, observing and reflecting it’s applications. AL is both a class tool but also a corporate learning one.

AL is the core learning methodology at Asia School of Business. During each of the 5 semesters, our students undertake action learning projects with our corporate partners all over the world.
Action Learning at ASB can take you anywhere from the sophisticated world of corporate management to the deep jungles of Malayia. This is how we learn!

But by being able to take a clean sheet of paper, we were able to design a curriculum around action learning right from the start. So we built our curriculum around MIT courses and projects with companies in Southeast Asia every semester.” Read more on the Poets & Quants site.

To teach principles, we have to allow them to observe principled leaders in action.” Read more on the AACSB site. . .
