 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Action Learning[edit]
It was at the Coal Board that Revans did much of the early work on developing action learning, working alongside E. F. Schumacher (author of Small is Beautiful) and Eric Trist, whose theories about socio-technical systems have also had an important influence on organization development.[1]
He and Chester both moved to the University of Manchester where Revans became the first professor of industrial management (1955–1965) but left to develop the inter-university action learning program in Belgium.[2]
Revans strongly held that the key to improving performance lay not with 'experts' but with practitioners themselves.[3]
Legacy[edit]
Remove: His techniques have been applied in many organizations and by management consultants and academics including Richard Brimble, Mike Pedler, Alan Mumford, and Richard Hale in the UK, and Michael Marquardt, Yury Boshyk, Robert Kramer, and Joe Raelin in the United States.
The Revans Collection is to be found at Salford University.[4]
