Debriefing, "retros", "after-action reviews" are one of most powerful tools to improve team performance across any industry. What if I told you that you could improve your team's performance by 20-25% and that the only cost would be 20 minutes... https://t.co/1G4vRyFnVs

@LizCrowe2 @symon_ben @grade1view @GetCuriousNow @Inject_Orange @SocraticEM @HumanFact0rz Agreed. Clinical event debriefing should structured, supported, anticipated. Teams debriefing regularly perform better https://t.co/Nb0izfyqB0 However if debriefings occur as one off with untrained facilitators it may be detrimental https://t.co/oaETvMxGNY

Do team and individual debriefs (aka retrospectives) enhance performance? A meta-analysis - PubMed https://t.co/JYUih6MbYs - answer: Yes, they do, as much as 25%. Roll that down to the bottom line and you're potentially talking about 2x, 3x, even 10x profits if you do it right
