    Michael J. Marquardt has developed a problem-solving tool. His process, which can be adapted by organizations of any size not only provides solutions but also builds leaders and teams.

    Marquardt, a professor of HRD and Program Direction of Overseas Programs at The George Washington University, is an expert in action learning. His process has six components.

    1. A problem - It must be significant and urgent.
    2. A group - The ideal group has between 4 and 8 diverse members.
    3. Questions - Initially, team members are restricted to questions. This reflective inquiry period develops a thorough understanding of the problem.
    4. Action - The group is authorized to implement their solution.
    5. Learning - A commitment to the process is as important as the solution.
    6. A coach - Someone is needed to keep the group focused.

    A key step is "action." Learning is meaningful only if some type of action is taken. Action generally involves four steps:

    1. Understand and Redefine the Problem. This is often the most important step.
    2. Articulate a Goal.
    3. Develop and Test Strategies.
    4. Take Action and Reflect on the Results.

    Marquardt includes a 12 step plan to introduce action learning to your organization. Properly implemented, it will accomplish three goals for your organization:

    1. It will provide solutions to problems.
    2. Develop leaders.
    3. Build a problem-solving culture.
