Project and Strategy Reviews with The AAR Method | Minisode | #InnerChiefPodcast

G'daaaaay

chief!

This week, were gonna talk all about

project and strategy reviews.

Using the A.A.R. method

or the After Action Review method.

Now where's this come from?

I got a call from a client earlier today

and he said, "Hey mate, I've been in this role

"about two or three months

"and its a big role, it's difficult,

"it's a CEO role of a multi million dollar company

"and it hasn't got off on the right foot.

"A few things aren't quite working with

"some of the others on the board.

"The relationship, there's a bit of tension there."

So, what they started out to do

is just not what's going down.

So I spoke to him about using

this After Action Review method to try and do

a bit of a review of what's actually gone down.

Now, I've used this in all sorts of situations.

In annual strategic planning reviews,

in project implementation reviews,

in post-project reviews.

All sorts of things.

It's a wonderful little process that'll get you on track.

After Action Review is a military process.

It's something they use after a serious piece

of action in a live environment.

And what they, well the whole idea is

to get people in a room to be candid,

to be open, to be frank, to be genuine and authentic.

To properly look for growth and improvement.

That's the whole thing, or the frame around this

is how do you get better in what you're doing.

Because no one turns up to work to do a bad job,

you're always here to have a real good go at something

and be aspirational,
