Action Learning Facilitation Training

We are experienced and enthusiastic facilitators of Action Learning Sets – within organisations and across systems.

We design and deliver training in both generic and bespoke Action Learning Set Facilitation.

Recently we have designed and delivered a training course for senior mental health practitioners in facilitating ALS to support leaders working on a cross organisational collaboration and system change project (National iThrive implementation). The programme of nine three-hour sessions delivered over 20 weeks in a group of eight to ten provides a gold standard in facilitation skills and practice which can be adapted to a variety of settings and frequency of set meeting (3 sessions, 6 sessions, 9 sessions).

We also provide supervision to ALS Facilitators post training to embed new skills as facilitators begin their practice.

Impact Stories

The national iThrive programme is implemented across England to improve services for children and young people’s mental health using the THRIVE Framework for System Change. They wanted to introduce action learning in their offer and to train those working on the programme in action learning set facilitation. We designed an online experiential programme of nine half days and delivered to a number of cohorts of experienced clinicians and practitioners.

“Experienced facilitators, generous with their knowledge and modelling excellent
practice to the group.”

“Really liked Helen and Abi’s styles, felt their experience and understanding of systems shone through in helping us navigate the training and our experiences in the systems we work in. Found them to be thoughtful, responsive and they held the group in a way that created a sense of safety”

iThrive Supervision

Supervision is provided to groups of newly trained Action Learning Set Facilitators taking their first groups within the iThrive framework. Supervision is provided to the group for their first sets and this also supports the building of a peer supervision group to continue once the training has been fully put into practice.
