My friend, Shashidhar Byali has many anecdotes of his life as a sailor. The best ones to listen to are those of great challenges and ‘near or clear’ errors of judgement or delivery. Shashi tells often about a log book that had to be filled to record the happening. The most important detail was testing but important to be declared: lesson learnt!
'Lesson Learnt’ is a valuable tool used by various organizations. They are experiences extracted from an assignment that become guidelines for future assignments of same or similar nature. It is an effective evaluation of the occurrence with clear insights into the what, how and why of things that went right or wrong.
NASA defines ‘lesson learned’ as knowledge or understanding gained by experience. The experience may be positive, as in a successful test or mission, or negative, as in a mishap or failure. These lessons highlight strengths or weaknesses in preparation, design, and implementation that affect performance, outcome and impact.
Experience is a great teacher. However, we must remember that ‘lessons are not meant to be taught… lessons have to be learnt’. Hence we must define and declare the ‘lesson learnt’ from every experience. It will be the guideline for future initiatives and ensure effectiveness due to the learning gained from the understanding.
After each experience, whether success or failure
‘Lesson Learnt’ helps us be better for the future!
