The Work Plan
Before I propose a plan, lets review

• Some basic consideration
• The evolving handbook
• Recommendations from the class (in particular,
  the task group).

4
Basic Considerations

• Everyone has to leave this class having something
  concrete to DO
• It should be a relatively equal amount of work
• It should take two weeks
• The whole should be greater than the parts
• It should contribute to our general, evolving
  plan to learn meta-lessons from an analysis of
  past lessons learned documents
• It should require the application of a systems
  perspective to humanitarian relief

  titleLLHandbook

6
Proposed Plan

• Select and Read 5 lessons learned documents.
• They should be
• Unique (i.e. we should end up with 75 different
  documents),
• Diverse (i.e. NOT 5 from the same disaster, or
  organization, or time)
• Significant

7
Proposed Plan (continued)

• Make a list of the lessons learned in your 5
  documents. For each lesson, provide the impact
  measure that justified its being included as a
  lesson learned (if any).
• Categorize your list items
• Since this is still exploratory, lets not begin
  with a finalized categorization schema, but given
  our basic considerations and justifications in
  the handbook, consider categories such as
  systemic/isolated reoccurring/one of a kind
  disaster-based/general single organization/consor
  tium international/regional intra-organizational
  /inter-/environmental, etc.

8
Proposed Plan (continued)

1. Meet with your team to combine lists, including a
   single agreed upon categorization schema
2. Order your combined list from most systemic
   lesson to least
3. Analyze your ordered, combined list from a
   (humanitarian relief) systems perspective
