Noun: Lessons learnt and best practices

[Anna.ha]

Hi,

I understand that lessons learnt are somewhat we have learnt to avoid next time and best practices are somewhat you recommend to do.

If I am correct, could anyone give me some examples of how I can use them.

Many thanks

Hi,
First of all,we will recap the lessons learnt last week.Does anyone have a question?
However,I don't agree with you about "best practices".I think it means they are what you are doing regularly and repeatedly to improve your skill,don't you?
Regards,

Hi Morteza, thanks for your post. I am sorry to have made confusion. I have edited my post. I meant "best practices" are some what you recommend others to do something. Can you give me an example of using it, please?

Thanks

Hi Anna,
"Best practice" also means an example of a good way of doing smth,especially in a particular job:
It's not considered good practice to reveal clients' names.
Hope this helps!

Concerning to "best practices"

When I ask my manager about writing some proposals to the clients and how make them perfect he said :Use best practices!

For me it means that I should find proposals which were sent before and outline the best way for mine.

Thanks for you

Could anyone help answer my following questions?

1- Can experience be either best practices or lessons learnt?
2- Suppose I have a bad experience of doing something and I'd like to advise people not to do if the same situations face them. How can I express this idea in English? Is this idea connected to "lessons learnt"?
3- Similarly, suppose I have a good experience of doing something and I'd recommend people to do if the same situations face them. How can I express this idea in English? Is this idea connected to "best practices"?

Please continue helping me.

Thanks

Hi Anna,
As far as I know there are two descriptions:
1."Learn from" means to understand why what you did was wrong:
You have to learn from your mistakes.
The lessons learnt in the Gulf War
2."Learn your lesson" means to learn what to do or not to do in the future because you had a bad experience in the past:
Smoking is harmful as I learn/have learnt my lesson. About "best practices",I wonder whether it can be used exactly like that or not;however,I think we can. Because they could also be used by other people as a set of rules to follow.
It is considered best practices to study regularly if you want to improve your English.
