BALT is a world-first learning cluster connecting diverse organisations across all regions of Tasmania since 2010. The BALT framework for collaboration through action learning can be applied to activate existing networks and develop relationships across industries, supply chains and regional areas. As a not-for-profit company and listed charity, our mission is to support self-reliant industry development, with diverse companies cooperating to improve their profitability, develop their people and grow the Tasmanian economy. Our mission is built on three pillars; collaborative action learning, achieving important business outcomes, and the awarding of nationally recognised qualifications. We seek to achieve this through running programs to implement real business improvement projects with groups of local companies.
