30. Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Sep 2017

I work in a field in which we ALWAYS have post-mortems after an incident, and create reports with a "Lessons Learned" section, to help ensure a similar incident does not occur again.

Why does anyone expect 2018 - or 2020 for that matter - to be any different if we don't first "look backward" at all the factors that caused this mess in the first place? I, for one, welcome input from the person who actually has first-hand knowledge of what occurred, just as I would insist upon including it while conducting an incident investigation.
