After Action Reviews 

What Are After Action Reviews?

​

After Action Reviews - or AARs - were first devised by the US

Army in the 1970s and - due to it's recognition as a particularly effective training method - the practice continues to be used in many training settings today. 

​

AARs are reflective studies that are carried out following an activity or event that has been deemed  to have gone particularly well or particularly badly. 

​

The goal is for the participants to learn valuable lessons that

can be applied to future endeavours.
