Rachel Ward, Learning and Development Manager
Action Learning is a powerful development experience for leaders. It brings people together to exchange, support and challenge each other in action and learning.
BUFDG is partnering with ARMA, AUDE, CHEIA, HESPA, SCONUL, UCISA and UHR (our equivalent for professionals across the Research, Estates, Internal Audit, Strategic Planning, Libraries, IT and HR) to offer action learning to Senior Leaders.
You can read more about Action Learning Sets and the benefits here.
Who can join?
These Action Learning Sets are aimed at Senior Leaders (Assistant / Deputy Directors / Head of – or equivalent). The sets are being offered to aspiring leaders across the 8 associations to ensure a good mix of professions are represented in each. There will be 6 participants per set.
How much will it cost?
The rate will be £500 (plus VAT) per candidate for the full set of 5 sessions.
When will the Action Learning Sets take place?
There will be 1 full day in-person session and 4 x half -day online sessions, held at 5 week intervals across a 5 month period. Many sets continue to meet on a ‘self-managed’ basis after the initial series of sessions have finalised. It is critical that candidates commit to attending all the dates within the set.
You need to be able to attend all days in the set. The first day of each set will be an in-person event in London (9.30am - 4pm), followed by 4 online events running from 9.30am-12.30pm.
Set A (Tuesdays)
3 October, 7 November, 12 December, 16 January 2024 and 20 Feb
Set B (Thursdays)
5 October, 9 November, 14 December, 18 January 2024 and 22 Feb
We are hoping to run both sets, but this will depend on levels of interest and a good mix of candidates for each set.
How do I register interest?
Before we ask candidates to fully apply, we would like candidates to register their interest by 8 September 2023.
