Learning History

Harthill’s Learning History is a highly effective tool to allow people across an organisation to understand what actually happened during a single pilot project or critical incident. An ‘oral history’ of an event is built up from the perspectives of the many participants. The new understanding developed and shared in this process helps people to make more effective future decisions and judgments, to avoid the mistakes of the past and to build on those behaviours that worked.
