JALLC Mission & Vision

Mission

The Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Centre (JALLC) is NATO’s centre for performing joint analysis of operations, training, exercises and Concept Development and Experimentation collective experiments, including establishing and maintaining an interactive managed Lessons Learned Database (LLDB).

Vision

“The JALLC will be recognised as NATO’s leading agent for joint analysis with our efforts and products respected, thereby enabling our contribution to improve the capabilities of the Alliance.”

Way Ahead

JALLC has taken a number of initiatives aimed at assisting NATO as a learning organisation, improving the quality of the JALLC’s products, and enhancing the outreach to NATO nations, partner nations and TCNs by:

1. Supporting the IMS and IS in implementing the NATO Policy for Lessons Learned.
2. Increasing the understanding within NATO of the role of the JALLC and how to utilize the JALLC to conduct analysis on NATO’s most important issues, using well-developed and carefully crafted analysis requirements.
3. Implementing a new internal project management methodology - PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments).
4. Improving the internal training programme to ensure that staff officers posted into the JALLC are capable of producing high-quality analysis products.
5. Issuing a new LL newsletter; The JALLC Explorer, that will keep the NATO community updated on JALLC activities in the areas of Analysis, Lessons Learned, and Outreach.
6. Reaching out to NATO and partner nations, TCNs, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), UN and the Military Staff of the European Union (EUMS).

In order to continue the positive development, the JALLC has a number of projects under way. In the short-to-medium term, the JALLC is:

1. Working with HQ SACT and SHAPE to make changes to the way that the JALLC Annual POW is compiled and executed, beginning with the transition to a rolling POW.
2. Working with NCSA to further develop the existing NATO LLDb taking experience gained to date, user requirements and feedback, into account.
3. Gaining user feedback regarding the NATO LL Portal Prototype which in conjunction with NCSA, will be used in the development of the NATO LL Portal.
4. Looking at providing more office space to JALLC within the present office building; JALLC is working closely with the Portuguese Military Authorities and with HQ SACT to achieve this.
