The WIAL marketing team has completely revamped the coaches database with more complete information and highlights about each coach.

Building engagement for change

It's one thing to know your organization needs to change to keep up with the changes in the environment. It's a whole other matter to genuinely not just involve but engage the employees in the change journey

. The reason change efforts fail is most often because of a lack of commitment and adoption. In the Singapore healthcare industry, Action Learning is a key tool to lay the right foundations for change.

Helping students help themselves

A major challenge for MBA students in Thailand is to write their thesis. But CALC Dr Thitiwan found out that one other major issue is for students to find out what to do their thesis about. Often a lot of time is lost in back and forth changing the topic. Maybe Action Learning is a good way to solve a complex conundrum like this ?

From routines to insights

Teams are often caught up in routines, putting out one fire to move onto the next. Using Action Learning to look at what really is the underlying issue often leads to deeper insights with more meaningful and sustainable solutions. WIAL Brazil helped an automotive client's logistics department achieve just that !
