The purpose of the article is to demonstrate how the action learning method contributes to the formation and development of high-tech organizations, as well as to the creation and maintenance of flexible learning structures. The study employed a methodology of parallel comparison between the principles of practical learning and the characteristics of high-tech organizations. Research findings revealed that action learning not only shapes flexible structures and processes but also actively promotes the implementation of a continuous learning culture in high-tech companies. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in developing leadership qualities, helping employees adapt to changes and effectively solve complex challenges. Action learning serves as a powerful tool for high-tech organizations, providing practitioners with ready-made models for building learning companies. This approach combines theory and practice, ensuring sustainable organizational development in a rapidly changing technological environment.
