Abstract This article describes one of the best examples of emergent learning--the "After Action Review". An iterative practice of reflecting, planning, and acting around a central performance challenge, the AAR helps to evolve a team’s implicit and explicit knowledge into new practices and standards of excellence. Developed 20 years ago by U.S. Army leaders as a way to use on-the-ground action as the crucible for learning, today it has been adopted by many companies, such as Harley Davidson and Power Construction, seeking to develop ongoing learning practices.
