Action Based “Learning”: Are Activity and Experience the Same?

Abstract

The behaviour of managers oriented to learning from action is reviewed, and analysed in relation to the work of Kolb, Honey and Mumford. It is proposed that there is a difference between action and experience. The steps necessary to convert action into experience are defined, following an examination of blockages and defensive routines.
