Thinking Faster: Well, how did we get here?

I really enjoy Thinking Faster, and not because he's big on productivity, but because he's just a damned fine writer at times.

You want to read his latest: "At the end of a project, there's a time which is generally used to shoot the wounded, apportion the blame and celebrate with cake and ice cream. This phase of the project, usually right at the end, is the time we use to decide what went right and what went wrong. In the military, they call this the 'after action report'. An after action report seeks to dissect the actions during the project, recognize how well the plans held up to what actually happened and what can be learned as a result."

To be honest, I think we all need a few more after action reports around here, if you know what I mean.
