Self-Managed Learning

This type of learning takes place when people take responsibility for what they learn and how they learn it. It usually starts with Learning Sets of around 6 people who take feedback from their immediate reports to develop their learning contract which contains their objectives at work for 6 months. This means it has to be agreed with colleagues in the set and with their line manager.

Each set has a Learning Adviser or Learning Leader. The learning comes from sharing experiences and ideas with each other, or addressing questions such as - Why am I here ? and What do I want out of my life and work? Participants discover a great deal about themselves - their strengths and limitations.

As well as understanding their preferences and energy levels for learning, the participants gain a more strategic perspective on their life at work, and what they want to learn from the experiences on offer.
