Course Description

This session is dedicated to the possibility that a professional firm can significantly increase its effectiveness in working with customers by creating a culture that uses after action reviews as their primary knowledge sharing tool. Adopting the AAR is not easy as it requires professionals to “spend” a significant about of time on an activity that is not “billable.” Because of this, the after-action review is not for everyone and should only be used by firms that truly seek to transform themselves. If you think that it is possible that you and your firm can meet this challenge, you are welcome to attend this webcast delivered by Ed Kless and Ron Baker, co-hosts of The Soul of Enterprise.
