Steps

Before

  • Orginizing the meeting right after the event: After Action Reviews should be conducted as soon as possible after the event, in order to have fresh memories of it, and learning can be applied immediately.
  • Building a climate of trust: The ideal climate for an AAR is one of trust, openness and commitment to learning. AARs are learning events, not critiques, and so should not be treated as performance evaluation. During AAR the hierarchic organization should be excluded, so that junior members can feel free to comment the seniors’ actions.
  • Recruiting a facilitator: Ideally the facilitator should by someone who has not taken part in the project so that he/she can remain objective. The main purposes of the facilitator are to help the team to learn by drawing out answers, insights and previously unspoken issues; to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to contribute.
