To suggest that hindsight is 20:20 is a bit optimistic in our view given that collectively everyone exposed to a particular experience will, in fact, have experienced and remembered it differently. Another useful application of the principles, we believe, would be to use them as a guide to reflection after CAE projects have been completed. To the extent that such analyses can be systematic, it is our opinion that they will be more fruitful. For example, participants in a CAE project may wish to carefully identify and recruit other participating members for a structured dialogue about the process. Obviously, such a conversation would be based on individual and collective memories of what transpired, but such memories can be aided by artifacts and other clues. Nevertheless, it would be important not to delay the opportunity to engage in such reflection too long after a project has been completed since memories fade and people move on to other things. The primary benefit of such analyses would be to generate lessons learned that could inform future practice.
