Implementation of pal in a learning organization

Abstract

This chapter presents the project action learning (PAL) implementation experience as real-life cases. PAL uses real-life projects to align individual and team learning with organizational learning (OL). The case company adopted a wavelike approach in its PAL implementation. PAL became the OL vehicle of the case company. An enabling IT-based infrastructure was developed to provide a platform for easy communication, knowledge sharing, and information interchange. The knowledge gained or generated throughout the PAL-driven OL processes could be captured and retained as retrievable organization knowledge. OL facilitation is another vital pillar for PAL implementation, which provides cogni- tive coaching and coordination to guide the PAL teams, especially their new members through the established PAL process.
