Inspired initially by the authors who originated the approach, Adrien Payette and Claude Champagne, as well as the English literature on “Action Learning”, the author’s dream was to share around the world the treasure that is codevelopment, continue its evolution with the addition of coaching approaches and measures, and offer it all the empirical support it deserves. The final step now is to complete the circle by sharing Codevelopment Action Learning (CAL) with the rest of the world.
