Debrief

Why Did We Switch?

When the plan changed mid-session, debrief the pivot itself. Naming it re-contracts with the room.

How to facilitate it

  1. Say the pivot out loud. Treat it as data rather than a failed plan.
  2. Ask what signals people noticed before the switch.
  3. Close on what the group wants to keep from the new direction.

Reflection prompts

  • The plan: What did we set out to do?
  • Signals: What did you notice in the room that called for a change?
  • Why we switched: Why did we switch direction? What made it right, or not?
  • Carry forward: What does this teach us about adapting next time?
