Organisational Learning and the Modern Army

Drawing upon extensive original research, this book explores best practice in army lessons-learned processes.

Without the correct learning mechanisms, military adaptation can be blocked, or the wider lessons from adaptation can easily be lost, leading to the need to relearn lessons in the field, often at great human and financial cost. This book analyses the organisational processes and activities which can help improve tactical- and operational-level learning through case studies of lessons learned in two key NATO armies: that of Britain and of Germany. Providing the first comparative analysis of the variables which facilitate or impede the emergence of best practice in military learning, it makes an important contribution to the growing scholarship on knowledge management and learning in public organisations.

It will be of much interest to lessons-learned practitioners, and students of military and strategic studies, defence studies, organisation studies and security studies.

Tom Dyson is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Royal Holloway College. He is the author of The Politics of German Defence and Security, Neoclassical Realism and Defence Reform in post-Cold War Europe and the co-author (with Theodore Konstadinides) of European Defence Cooperation in EU Law and IR Theory .

For my daughter Nevena.
With love and gratitude.

While working on this book I have incurred a number of debts of gratitude. The book would not have been possible without the support of the Gerda Henkel Foundation. It generously provided the funding to undertake the empirical research and write the book (grant AZ 05/KF/15). I owe a special thanks to Thomas Podranski, the project manager of the Security, Society and the State programme, for his helpfulness and efficiency in administering the grant.

I am particularly grateful to my 67 interviewees within the British and German militaries for their time and their willingness to talk openly about the successes and failures of learning processes. I owe a deep debt of gratitude to Major Francis Brackley of the British Army Lessons Team, who worked very hard to arrange my interviews within the British Army, PJHQ, JFC, MoD and with retired personnel. I am also grateful to Mr Charles Heath-Saunders of Army Media and Communications for the time and effort he took to help secure the support of the Army Leadership and MoD for the project. Furthermore, I am very grateful for the efforts of Lieutenant-Colonel Klaus Gosenheimer and Lieutenant-Colonel Johannes Schall of the German Army LL Branch, who played a crucial role in facilitating interviews within the Bundeswehr .

The comments from discussants at several conferences including Dr Tobias Bunde, Professor David Dunn, Dr Niklas Helwig and Dr Oliver Schmitt were of great help in sharpening my arguments. I would also like to thank the Gerda Henkel Foundation and Professor Wolfgang Seibel and his colleagues at the University of Konstanz for hosting the Gerda Henkel Foundation Workshop in June 2017. It provided a very valuable opportunity to gain feedback on my research and to learn more about the projects of other scholarship holders. Furthermore, I would like to thank Professor Klaus Goetz, Professor Adrian Hyde-Price and Professor Anand Menon for their support and feedback on early drafts of my proposal.

I am especially grateful to Bastien Irondelle for his support of my work and for taking the time to comment on an early version of my project proposal. Bastiens untimely passing in 2013 was a great loss to the scholarly community on European security and military change. His many intellectual and personal qualities are deeply missed by his colleagues.

I am also very thankful for the opportunity to spend 201618 as a visiting researcher at the Bundeswehr Centre for Military History and the Social Sciences. Discussions with colleagues at the Centre, particularly Dr Ina Kraft, were of great help in overcoming intellectual hurdles along the way. I am especially grateful to Dr Heiko Biehl for helping me to attain security clearance within the German Defence Ministry and for his efforts to help me secure access to interview partners.
