Scenario: Run for it

As an action learning coach, how would you handle the following situation: The team decides they need something from another building, they all get into one car and continuing the session as they go to the other building for the information.

    I would ask:”How critical is the information for your next steps in the session”‘, “What will it cause then?”; “How are you going to keep the norms of our meeting outside our room?” “How are we going to proceed when you return?; “What time are you going to be back?” I would agree once we all understand answers to all these questions. Later I would ask how the action influenced our meeting. What was OK and what can be done differently next time. I am very curious of the outcome of such situation. It can be very good idea, as well as a bad one – depending on the team and the context.

    I would ensure that the group can effectively and safely engage in the problem-solving process. In the event that the group needs to travel to another location to gather information, I would ensure that safety is the top priority and that the discussion remains focused on the problem at hand, while allowing for necessary breaks and alternative methods of communication, as needed.

    Another tough one! This move seem to be a consensus within the group so as their Coach, I will go with them as they continue the session. I will remind them of the 2 ground rules before we set off to keep the spirit of AL even on the move.
