Post-mortems
Making Better Mistakes Tomorrow
The goals of a post-mortem are:
≒ To figure out what happened
≒ To identify how we can learn from it
≒ To identify remediations we can implement to improve things going forward
≒ To communicate this to stakeholders
Manyways to learn from
failure afterthe fact, but
how do we get to that
point?
Build a Learning Culture
in 3 Easy Steps:
1. Filter
2. Reinforce & Adjust
3. Reiterate
1. Culture Interview
Getting the right people in the building
≒ What you can become matters
more than what you are
≒ "Whoever learns the fastest will
win
≒ "Resilient organizations require people
who can recover & learn from failure."
2. Feedback
Haveyou given them
that feedback?
Spotify Bingo
Loops: more formal feedback given
every 6-12 months
Mastery, Achievements, Behavior
≒ Overall do you see evidence
that they have ambition to
continuously grow and develop
both as a person and a
professional?
≒ Do they actively seek
opportunities to grow?
≒ "Do they undertake challenges
they have never taken before?
≒ "What evidence do you see that
they are continuously improving
and innovating in their area of
responsibility or outside of
that?
3. Modeling Behavior
Most human behavior is
learned observationally
through modeling 
Albert Bandura
Bobo doll experiment
