You'll find one aspect of this in Richard Pascale's book 'Surfing the Edge
of Chaos'. On page 250 he talks about the US Army's After Action Review
process as an example of double loop learning 'in the field'. You can see
more, including a (very) small video, at the book's web-site
www.surfingchaos.com and you can find a Leader's Guide to After-Action
Review at http://call.army.mil/products/spc_prod/tc25-20/table.htm or
thereabouts.
Best wishes
Bob
