The MTR Corporation is one of Hong Kong's first large organisations to implement Action Learning in its management and in-house executive training programmes.
MTRC management training and development manager Francis Mok said Action Learning concepts were used to reinforce the skills of the executive talent pool and complement the knowledge gained from business schools.
'Action learning is a useful tool that forms an important development aid for expanding the knowledge and experience of our executives,' Mr Mok said.
Action Learning is one of several comprehensive in-house management training courses and technical training programmes designed to allow staff to better equip themselves and create value for the corporation.
Although the MTRC began using Action Learning in 1998, executives are given briefings to introduce them to the concepts they may not be familiar with.
The principles of Action Learning focus on a problem, project, challenge, issue, or task which are important to an individual, team or organisation.
