We recommend that after implementing your proactive and consistent Team Building Action Plan, consider implementing a regular cadence of AAR, After Action Review. Here is a basic outline that any team can use:
AAR - After Action Review
AAR’s differ from a post mortem or debrief in that an AAR is intended for Team Learning and Development to enable a continuous learning culture. The AAR meeting notes should be disseminated to all team members and key learnings should be used to update team SOP’s or procedures.
