Which strategies are the most recommended to make efficient use of lessons learned?

The lessons learned must translate into new/improved organizational process assets. Given that OPAs are input to a new project, that project will automatically incorporate the organization's lessons learned repository.

Following Andrew, lessons learned need to be easily searchable and accessible. In an environment with many projects you might need a person dedicated to organizing the lessons learned, who keeps aware of all the projects and their business goals, and shares applicable lessons with PMs as required.

In Agile there is something similar to what you mention. In the retrospectives of Scrum for example it is analyzed among the members of the team that things can be improved, which went wrong. Usually it is in a friendly environment some make "lean cofffe" and it is quite productive.

Need a clear documentation of lessons learned, and they need to share using organizational tools. The last part is often the poor part.
