Key features of an effective debrief include:
Feeling safe to talk openly about mistakes without fear of negative judgement or defensiveness.
Contributions from all; pooling people’s different observations is key.
Making time to unpick both what worked and what didn’t . Many organisations only debrief when something goes seriously wrong, but this misses the learning available in every team performance. Including learning from examples of when we’ve been at our best.
Looking deeper for the underlying causes of effective or ineffective behaviours.
For example, if we recognize teamwork was better, explore why it was better on this project?
“In addition to building a habit of debriefing, watch out for patterns in the team which undermine learning – such as defensiveness, and siloed working.”
