Learning is a constant process, capturing the lessons learned as you go along, together with the decision process that led you to make the right choices, moving ahead toward success smoothly.
LESSON LEARNED is what you learned from what you did in given business circumstances, that could be what you did right or what you did wrong. Learn from failure, learn from experience, learn from others, learn from best practices, etc. Either way, to capture the lessons learned as you go along, together with the decision process that led you to make the choice you did since that provides context for the learning.
LESSON LEARNED helps you learn quickly about certain techniques or methodologies; it also helps you to learn what not to do, so you can enhance an iterative learning-doing-learning continuum, in order to reach the next level of performance.
Learn from failure: Failure comes to you, you need to overcome it, using it as a launch point for improvement. There is no value in failure itself, be it fast or slow. The value is how you respond to failure and what you can learn from it. To grow and make improvement, all failures should be a learning experience.
See both sides of reality-the loss caused by failure, and the hope for success, if you insist on seeing reality. When a failure is detected, ask wise questions and learn from it. Failure is a failure and a fantastic opportunity to learn something and then, to have another go at making success possible. Only then, can "failing fast" be utilized as a tactical advantage.
Learn from experience: The journey of being called life composed of a series of experiences, professionally or personally. We can learn from either our own experiences or others’ experiences. It becomes easier to recall the lessons gained from your own experience. One's own experience teaches more as it generates emotions, good and bad, that can serve as effective mental markers for association to enhance learning experience, improve what you did before, solve similar problems at the similar circumstances more effectively and quickly.
We cannot experience everything. Be open minded to learn from others as well; demonstrate good attitude to learn and understand other’s viewpoints, and be open minded for catching new perspectives. We are limited by time and space. But through someone else' experience, we can gain a lot without much price/loss to ourselves. Learning from another person's experience helps to surpass one's own limits. Still, learning from others doesn’t mean to accept others’ viewpoint completely, it’s important to integrate learning and practices, understand the pros and cons of diverse suggestions or solutions, in order to use experiences as building blocks, rather than roadblocks for shortening the learning cycle, moving to the upward growth trajectory and unlocking future performance.
Learn from best practices: The best practice is always a combination of people and how they are used to doing things. Best Practice can mean different things in business. It could be how a process is conducted or how a procedure is handled. BEST PRACTICE is a recommended way of doing things, and LESSON LEARNED is the tool to adjust that BEST PRACTICE to your initiatives. That means best practices are not perfect, learning is dynamic, it’s important to provide or offer constructive feedback from adopting the best practices, learning, adjusting, improving are always a healthy cycle of next practice development.
Practices need to keep updated to reflect the change in the environment. Best practices is overall the method that helps to deliver a product or service highly efficiently while still meeting acceptable quality standards. Learning from best practice improves business efficiency and speed to a certain degree. Keep in mind though, in many cases, the winners set the "best" practices and the laggards try to emulate them. Thus, there is a risk to just blindly follow the best practice, because when you emulate your competitor, you start looking like them. You become a commodity, lose your unique competency. It’s always important to make continuous progress, to develop the personalized next practices for leading the next level of corporate growth and transformation.
Learning is a constant process, lessons learned is invaluable, as that lead you to make the right choices, moving ahead toward success smoothly. When you do make any mistakes inadvertently, it is more than an ordinary, an ongoing learning opportunity. It is important to remind yourself that you should never repeat the same mistakes in the future, reshape a learning agile mentality, refine methods or practices to improve, and recharge energy to achieve better than expected results.
