Excellent variation on action learning

Mike Pedler of the UK has written a practical, readable and informative book on action learning. His approach is based on Revans work rather than Marquardt, whose approach may be more familiar to US practitioners. Pedler's examples closely resemble supervisor circles or manager self-help groups--with members meeting regularly to help each other solve a variety of problems. This is in contrast to action learning teams that are pulled together to address a specific business problem over several months time. This is not a criticism of Pedler; rather, I found his approach to reflection simple and helpful, and his illustrations, worksheets and bibliography instructive.
