ABSTRACT

Formal learning that equips learners with programmed knowledge extracted from the past is no longer sufficient. Action learning was founded to help managers deal with new unknowns. The author of this article poses the question ‘is it possible to run a deficit-based method positively using an Appreciative Inquiry model?’ using a case study from Asia to support her conclusions.
