Overview
The Lessons Learned Module is used to help your organization capture potential lessons from users, consolidate those lessons for review and approval in a central location, and then implement a process of evaluating those lessons against a specific plan of action. Essentially, this module provides a form of proactive change management. The Lessons Learned Module is most valuable when combined with other Modules, such as Incident Management and Quality Management, as Lessons Learned can then be generated from and linked to those Forms.
Lessons Learned Ecosystem
Lesson Learned Form
There are 2 ways to create a Lesson:
- Lesson Learned - a standard Form
- Investigation Tab - a subset of Lesson Learned Form components, embedded into another Form (e.g. Incident Event or Quality Event)
Once the Lesson is created:
- Lessons go through an Assignment phase where data is added to categorize the Lesson, including identifying Subject Matter Experts who should be consulted for feedback.
- The Lesson is then Reviewed by specific users who then add their recommendations on how to control for the risk in the future.
- A final Approval then moves the Proposed Lesson to an Approved Lesson.
Organizations wanting to then gather a set of lessons for review can then use the Lessons Learned Rundown Form
Lesson Learned Rundown Form
The Lesson Learned Rundown Form is used to help your organization select a group of lessons from the Lessons Learned library into a checklist. Each selected lesson is marked as either needing-action or not-applicable. Furthermore, each lesson marked needing-action will generate a Lesson Rundown Action Form.
Lesson Learned Rundown Action Form
Comparable to Compliance Action, a Lesson Learned Rundown Action will guide the assigned user through the completion and review process. The assigned user will receive a Task requiring action.
Key Features
- Identify lessons learned for proactive change management
- Capture data for further analysis with Subject Matter Experts
- Add recommendations to lessons for better risk control
- Gather a set of lessons for review using the Rundown Form
- Assign Tasks to users when action is required
