Features Learning from Experience: Seize the Opportunity By Timothy E. LaMacchio http://www.jems.com/jems/exclus05/e0531a.html Experiences can often have negative outcomes by creating bad habits, instilling misinformation, establishing dependence on others, etc. However, these effects can been avoided by using a simple, three-question formula—What?, So what? and What next? This high-impact learning formula, part of the field of Organizational and Human Performance and developed by author Timothy E. LaMacchio, can help ensure emergency response teams are learning the knowledge and skills necessary for success and not learning other lessons that can lead to failure. For details, click here.
