Development of web based application for Learning from Experiences in Slovenian armed forces

Številne in intenzivne spremembe v okolju zahtevajo od organizacij in posameznika prilagajanje novo nastajajočim izzivom. Soočanje s številnimi izzivi, ki jih prinaša okolje, je mogoče tudi s pomočjo koncepta učeče se organizacije, kamor kot pomemben segment prištevamo tudi učenje iz izkušenj. Učenje iz izkušenj je v Natu in Slovenski vojski prepoznano kot zmogljivost, katere ključni elementi so struktura, proces in informacijska orodja. Informacijska orodja imajo pomembno vlogo pri podpori sistema in procesa učenja iz izkušenj in so zasnovana na platformi SharePoint. SharePoint Designer in InfoPath Designer sta orodji za prilagajanje spletnih mest ter urejanje in prilagajanje spletnih obrazcev. Dosedanja praksa je bila, da so uporabniki obrazce izpolnjevali ročno in jih pošiljali s pomočjo elektronske pošte. Strokovni organ s področja učenja iz izkušenj v Slovenski vojski je podal zahtevo po prilagoditvi obrazca, ki bi omogočal upravljanje procesa na spletni strani Učenje iz izkušenj skozi vse njegove faze. Na podlagi zahtev smo kreirali spletni obrazec s pomočjo omenjenih spletnih orodij. Ta obrazec omogoča spletno izpolnjevanje in v nadaljevanju reševanje izkazanega problema v zaščitenem spletnem okolju vse do zaključne faze procesa učenja iz izkušenj, kjer se rešitev implementira v nadaljnje aktivnosti. Spletna rešitev bo močno pospešila proces učenja iz izkušenj, poenostavila povezovanje vseh oseb vpletenih v proces ter omogočala konstanten nadzor in možnost usmerjanja v posameznem procesu.Numerous and intense changes in the environment require that organizations and individuals adapt to the newly emerging challenges. It is also possible to face the various challenges posed by the environment through the concept of a learning organization which also includes the lessons learned as an important segment. In the NATO and the Slovenian Armed Forces, the lessons learned are recognised as a organizational capability which key elements are structure, process and the informational tools. The informational tools are based on the SharePoint platform and are especially important in supporting the system and the process of the lessons learned. The SharePoint Designer and the InfoPath Designer are tools for adjusting websites and for editing and adjusting web forms. Until now, the users have been filling out forms by hand and sending them via e-mail. The professional body in the field of lessons learned in the Slovenian Armed Forces has made a request for the adjustment of the form, which would enable the management of the process on the Lessons Learned website through all of its phases. Based on the requirements, a web form has been created using the aforementioned web-based tools. This form can be filled out online and in continuation enables the solving of potential problems in a protected online environment all the way to the final phase of the lessons learned process, where the solution is implemented in the follow-up activities. This web solution will greatly accelerate the lessons learned process, simplify the integration of all the people involved in the process, and allow for the constant control and the possibility of guidance in an individual process
