When to use it
Use it when you want to learn deliberately from a project, event or mistake.
How to apply it
- Choose a recent experience to learn from.
- Describe what happened and what you observed.
- Draw conclusions about why it happened and what principles apply.
- Decide what you will try differently next time.
- Test the new approach and start the cycle again.
Tip: Most people skip from experience straight to action; the reflection stages are where learning happens.
