Abstract

The Lessons Learned Systems are important tools for the innovation on military doctrine. This research aimed in compare the knowledge creation theoretical model known as SECI – Socialization, Explicitation, Combination and Internalization – with the way these systems operate. Through a literature review, the models of NATO and the Brazilian Army were analyzed, and compared with the SECI cycle, in order to observe the similarities between them. With this, it was possible to perceive a proximity between the theoretical and practical models, thus allowing the use of this framework as an element of analysis for the Lessons Learned Systems. In this way, this work intends to contribute to the advancement of knowledge management studies within the Armed Forces, enabling the application of models established in the literature where similarities are observed and seeking to improve these theories to better meet the particularities of military environments.
