* Common Post-Assessment Activities:
* Lessons Learned: Captures insights to apply in future efforts.
* Root-Cause Analysis: Identifies underlying issues that contributed to outcomes.
* After-Action Reviews: Provides structured feedback on what went well and what could improve.
* Purpose:
* Ensures continuous improvement and refinement of strategies, processes, and capabilities.
* Promotes a culture of learning and adaptation.
* Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A: Financial audits focus on financial reporting, not post-assessment of processes or projects.
* B: Employee evaluations are personnel-focused, not process-focused.
* C: Market research is unrelated to post-assessment activities within organizational capabilities.
