| Summary: | Drawing upon extensive original research, this book explores best-practice in army lessons-learned processes. Without the correct learning mechanisms, military adaptation can be blocked, or the wider lessons from adaptation can easily be lost, leading to the need to relearn lessons in the field, often at great human and financial cost. This book analyzes the organizational processes and activities which can help improve tactical- and operational-level learning through case studies of lessons-learned in two key NATO armies, that of Britain and of Germany. Providing the first comparative analysis of the variables which facilitate or impede the emergence of best-practice in military learning, it makes an important contribution to the growing scholarship on knowledge management and learning in public organisations. It will be of much interest to lessons-learned practitioners, and students of military and strategic studies, defense studies, organization studies and security studies. |
