Overview

Before and After Action Review (BAR-AAR) is a reflection tool to promote Emergent Learning and helps groups of people strengthen their ability to think about and learn from their work, to consistently achieve or exceed desired outcomes, even in the midst of unpredictable challenges.

The BAR-AAR tool lives in a larger set of tools called Emergent Learning. At its simplest, Emergent Learning uses four steps to collect data and information, learn from the results, set up new hypotheses, and identify opportunities to test them out.
