Your organisation is running the same expensive mistakes every quarter.
The reason is not strategy.
It is that you have no system for learning from the last one.
5 questions every debrief must ask:
1. What was the plan?
2. What happened?
3. Why did it diverge?
4. What did we learn?
5. What changes immediately?
Three conditions required:
✔️ psychological safety
✔️ structured questions
✔️ no rank in the room
Remove one and you get theatre, not intelligence.
How many of your last 5 significant projects ended with a structured debrief?
