Reg Revans and Action Learning

Reg Revans, seen by many as the father of Action Learning, gave an interview, which was recorded, during the First World Congress on Action Learning and Action Research held in Brisbane in 1990. The video, which runs for 44 minutes is introduced by Ortrun Zuber-Skerritt, and the interviewers are Denis Loaney and John Mahoney. A summary of the interview is available here.

 

Due to its length (and the size of the video file), Action Learning, Action Research Association Ltd (ALARA) has uploaded the interview in four parts on its YouTube channel as follows
