Learning

Do we learn the right lessons from our failures? Do we learn the right lessons from our successes?

Do we learn to come back again, having figured out a better, more efficient, way of doing things?

How regularly do we do de-briefs? Do we do them in an effective way. What do we do about institutional memory when we don’t have institutions?

How much wheel re-invention is there going on?
