Aliki Nicolaides

Dr Aliki Nicolaides is building a learning hub, a point of contact at Global Leadership Associates for new research, and offering opportunities to share experiences of using Global Leadership Profiles and Action Inquiry in practice and in research.

Aliki Nicolaides Ed.D, is Associate Professor of Adult Learning, Leadership and Adult Development at the University of Georgia in the program of Learning, Leadership and Organization Development. Dr. Nicolaides’ seeks to optimize vital developmental conditions for adults, groups and systems to learn. Through years of research and teaching, she has developed a theory of learning-within-ambiguity called “Collaborative Generative Learning”. The results show how adults may also learn from within the complexity.

Dr. Nicolaides pedagogy is grounded in Collaborative Developmental Action Inquiry (CDAI); a methodology which consciously develops adult’s collaborative capacity to better respond to the fluidity and complexity of the early 21st century. The complex demands of a rapidly changing, interconnected world require new skill sets. CDAI is part of an emerging learning pedagogy that deliberately helps adults adapt to (and ultimately benefit from) this new global paradigm.
