	abstract = {This article describes an intervention to design and test a method for employee-driven innovation and a model for learning among managers and development leaders. The empirical basis for the intervention focused on personal assistants in the home service within a municipality in Sweden. The intervention was carried out using action research in on a series of workshops with a group of employees, managers, development leaders. Using a {\textquotedblleft}stage{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}stands{\textquotedblright} theatre metaphor, employees engaged in collective, innovative learning {\textquotedblleft}on the stage{\textquotedblright} combined with observations and reflections from managers and development leaders {\textquotedblleft}in the stands{\textquotedblright}. This article contributes a method that can generate creative ideas among the employees and a model that can stimulate experience-based learning through observations. The intervention also shows that action research can be used to develop and test methods and models. },
