SUMMARY
Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned describes activities relating to learning from
experience to achieve improvements. In a military context, this
means reduced operational risk, increased efficiency, and
improved operational effectiveness.
Lessons can be derived from any activity—daily events,
exercises, training, etc.
Learning, in any organization, involves three generic stages:
identification, action, and institutionalization.
