This learner guide summarises the main ideas, activities, and applied tasks for this session. Use it during class and for post-session review.
· Explain why lessons learned should examine causes, controls, decisions, and recovery rather than focusing only on the event itself.
· Distinguish incidents, near misses, recurring issues, and systemic weaknesses.
· Use case material to identify improvement priorities that are evidence-based and realistic.
· Separate immediate fixes from underlying structural improvements.
· Produce a short lessons-learned summary suitable for management follow-up.
· Lessons learned should identify what must improve, not merely repeat the event story.
· Near misses and recurring issues can reveal important vulnerabilities.
· Urgent action and structural improvement are not the same thing.
