After Action Review

"The Army's After Action Review (AAR) is arguably one of the most successful organizational learning methods yet devised. Yet, most every corporate effort to graft this truly innovative practices into their culture has failed because, again and again, people reduce the living practice of AAR's to a sterile technique."

—Peter Senge

An After Action Review is essential to identify repeatable successful practices and acknolwedge outstanding contributions by participants. It is also important to identify what could be done better and where people can concentrate on improving their skills and systems.
