Speakers: Nerida Hart, Program Manager, Knowledge for Regional Natural Resource Management, Land & W, Dr. Dale R Steinhauer, Chief, Research Division, Center for Army Lessons Learned, and Mary Durham, Manager, Regulatory Affairs, Genzyme Corporation.
18 June 2008
After Action Reviews (AARs) or Lessons Learned can help groups reflect on a specific experience or project by using a series of planned questions to ask about what happened, why it happened, what went well, what needs to be improved, and what was learned. AARs were originally developed by the US Army as a means of learning from training experiences. They are now widely used by many corporations for the purpose of learning, reflection and continuous improvement. Reviews can take just a few moments, or many hours, depending on the significance of the experience or project, and the need to document the learning experience. Documenting these sessions and sharing can lead to better planning or work flow improvements, or can simply bring closure for the participant. AARs can be a powerful way to develop habits of reflection by building learning into the employee’s everyday work routine.
