Written by DrBea on . Posted in WIAL Talk

As an action learning coach, how would you handle the following situation: One of the team members is familiar with mind mapping and suggests to the team that they create a mind map for the problem. Everyone on the team encourages the person to take the lead and walk them through it.

    This scenario could be an action step that the problem presenter takes after the team has agreed on the problem. I could also see it being a way to facilitate questions about the relationships between elements in the mindmap. In any case, I would ask the team if the team wanted to proceed with the next steps, but ensure that the rules of action learning are followed thereafter.

    I would ask the team about the 2 ground rules of Action Learning and how they plan to apply the mind mapping method while complying to the ground rules.

    During an action learning session, visualization of the problem can be enlightening to arrive at solutions. If the team agrees to this and does not distract from the process we are working on, this can be used as a supplement.

    From one side, it is highly important to follow to the gound rules. From another side, it can be used as a supplement, but in a way not to distract the AL process. For example, during the partm when the partcipants are asked to formulate the problem for later coming to an agreement or not, the participants can also draw the mind mapping re the problem. However, the coach should allocate the extra time for it.
