______________ 

“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 practice into their culture has failed because, again and again, people reduce the living practice of AAR's to a sterile technique.”

~ Peter Senge, Author of “The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of the Learning Organization”

 

After Action Reviews have proven effective for more than 40 years. They're used in a wide range of high-hazard industries including aviation, emergency fire & rescue, the military, and health care. And After Action Reviews can benefit project managers, engineers, coders, and other office workers just as much as they benefit front-line or field teams.

 

An After Action Review is the only technique I know of that can:

1) Share unwritten expertise (aka "art of the craft"), and

2) Build trust at the same time

"Before this workshop, I thought that After Action Reviews were about identifying weaknesses. Now I'm realizing that AARs are about identifying strengths and building trust." 

~ Technical Team Leader in a Research Laboratory, January 2020

"Practical and knowledgeable are two words that come to mind when Dr. Jake Mazulewicz’s name comes up. He has a keen ability to dissect complex, academic concepts into objective ideas and tools usable by everyday common folk in the workplace... Above all I have been impressed with Jake’s innate talent to get to the core principle of any issue and to communicate it simply and directly."

~ Tony Muschara, CPT, author of Risk-Based Thinking: Managing the Uncertainty of Human Error in Operations

______________ 

"[Jake] has a gift of explaining Human Performance Improvement (HPI) to all of our people. We have a diverse audience from engineers, environmentalists, finance, human resources, and field construction management and testing teams. Jake was able to teach HPI processes and techniques to all of them. We have seen great improvement where we have successfully incorporated Jake’s HPI strategies."

~ Shayne Wright, Vice President Power Delivery, Field Services Division Manager at POWER Engineers
