I agree that postmortems can be useful but I'm not sure that
doing such on a decision to hire Bill instead of Fred is one of
those cases where it woudl be useful, feasiable (due to confidential
info including recommendations) or produce any useful results (unless
teh reason to hire Bill was that he was the IAD's dad)
the same thing with reviewing the decision to hire company A rather than
company B - I can see reviewing the process by which the decision
was made but I do not think (for teh same reasons above) that the
reviewing the decision itself would be all that easy or useful

I disagree. Reviewing a specific decision in an operational context
to determine whether the right decision was made can be a useful
feedback step in a control loop of a system. I've found this to be
true whether systems are technical or manigerial.
