This is an interesting problem. Is there any way the Learning History
concept can be adapted or simplified to help here? I am coming to the end
of the first phase of a business development project and am considering
ways to capture learning and record it for future use in projects. Does
any one have any ideas, experience on how this could be practically done-
A mini history written by individuals on the project, a personal
reflections questionnaire? and the process to take etc. I am willing to
experiment, and fail!

I feel there will be many organisations who could benefit from the
Learning History approach, but who may not have the resources/time to
carry out. A Do-it-yourself kit or framework would be useful.
