Navy SEALs use a tool called AARs. After Action Reviews. It’s a process for reviewing projects, missions, training exercises or any other event you want to reflect on. I adopted AARs for my portfolio of companies years ago, and they’ve been incredibly helpful. The key is 3 ...perfect questions. Here’s how we do them: Step 1: What Went Well We begin every AAR by asking this question: “What replicable new learning did we gain from what went well?” In any post-mortem, our brains can naturally focus on what went wrong. However, it is critical to get clear on what went RIGHT so the good can be repeated. — Step 2: What Didn’t Go Well After reviewing what went well and the successes we can repeat in the future, we move on to constructive criticism. We frame the discussion with a similar question: “What replicable new learning did we gain from what did not go well?” Notice - the question isn’t asking what went wrong...specificially what is the new LESSON we can incorporate for the future. — Step 3: New Standards Once we’ve dissected the lessons from what went well and what didn’t, we turn our focus to the future. Combining the insights from the first two steps, we assess the following:: “Drawing upon questions 1 and 2, what changes can we make to our processes to systematically improve our consistent tactical excellence?” This reinforces that the standard is excellence, clear process is how we get there, and askswhat improvements to our process move us ahead? — Process note - each participant should complete these questions in writing 24 hours in advance. AAR sessions begin with reading all of the written feedback. Then the meeting owner leads the discussion of each question. – That’s the AAR process at a high level. 1) What went well (to be repeated) 2) What lessons exist from what didn’t go well 3) How we’ll modify our processes going forward (with excellence as the standard) Give it a shot. — If you enjoyed this post: • Follow me @mattschnuck for more threads on EQ, entrepreneurship, and growth. • Retweet to share how to use AARs on your team
