New JALLC Analysis Handbook
10/17/2024

​We are proud to announce that the Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Centre’s JALLC Analysis Handbook has just been published. This new version of the handbook reflects the broad knowledgebase and experience accumulated since the last edition of the handbook was published. It is also representative of the way JALLC continues to evolve to analyse some of NATO’s most complex problems and ensure that the resulting products continue to meet the JALLC’s and NATO’s high standards for analytical excellence.

In NATO, analysis is defined as “The study of a whole by examining its parts and their interactions”: a concept that remains central to all JALLC Analysis, which contributes to strengthening NATO’s organizational learning.

JALLC Analysis Handbook describes the concepts, fundamentals, methods, and techniques that provide a baseline understanding for conducting a range of JALLC analysis projects/tasks. It has been produced to assist JALLC analysts to understand what is expected of them in their role at the JALLC, as well as to guide staff in other organizations with conducting analysis related to Lessons Learned (LL), especially within NATO or national military entities. A number of How to … guides are provided in support of this handbook. The How to … guides provide more detailed guidance on selected design, planning, data collection, and analysis related​ activities, and include useful templates, sample texts, examples, and hints/tips to avoid common mistakes.
