未能从危机中吸取教训是一个常见的现象。英国政府因应对COVID-19危机而备受批评。许多批评人士强调，政府显然没有从天鹅座演习中吸取教训，该演习提出了改善英国应对大流行病的建议。本文比较和对比英国政府的反应与演习的建议。它批评了目前的危机管理文献的差距，并认为，为了避免未来的失败，需要更多的重点是从演习的建议的有效性。如果做不到这一点，则应查明演习经验教训，并将其建议付诸实施。本文认为，从政策建议到实践的成功过渡，需要建议的语境化，使他们是可行的和实用的，然后才能制度化。它介绍了一个切实可行的框架和组织行动，说明今后的工作如何能够缩小与已确定的经验教训之间的差距，并形成实践。
The failure to learn lessons from crises is a common observation. The UK Government has been criticized for its response to the COVID-19 crisis. Many critics have highlighted the Government's apparent failure to learn the lessons from Exercise Cygnus, which made recommendations to improve the UK's response to a pandemic. This article compares and contrasts the UK Government's response with the exercise recommendations. It critiques the gaps using current crisis management literature and argues that to avoid future failings, more emphasis is needed on the effectiveness of recommendations from exercises. If this is not done, exercise lessons identified, and their recommendations will not be operationalized. This article argues that the successful transition from policy recommendation to practice requires recommendations to be contextualized, so they are feasible and practical, before they can be institutionalized. It introduces a practical framework and organizational actions on how future exercises can close the gap from lessons identified to be learned and shape practice.
