"We learnt to swim when we were already in the water" : A study on what- and how the team-members of Lifestyle AM have learnt in their work

Sammanfattning: The study aims to investigate learning processes that take place in the European Innovation Community. The research is based on a case-study of one of the EU projects - Lifestyle AM. The project dealt with knowledge transfer issues, providing support to the EU innovation projects. The study addresses what- and how have the team-members of Lifestyle AM learnt in their work. Interview and document qualitative studies are employed as methods of research. Based upon a contextualised model that builds on Argyris' model of single- and double-loop learning and Ellström's model of adaptive- and developmental learning, an analysis of the learning loops in the Lifestyle team is carried out. The results of the study showed that elements of single- and double-loop learning intertwined at different levels of work in the team.
