premortem

Cognitive psychologist Gary Klein has spent his career examining how decisions get made across real-world scenarios. He is well-known for creating the PreMortem Method of Risk Assessment, an risk management exercise that helps project team members imagine potential problems upfront, rather than examining shortfalls in hindsight. In this episode, we dig into the how and why of Klein’s premortem practice, what differentiates it from other strategic tools, as well as the challenges of integrating a culture of curiosity into established ways of working. 

186 The Premortem to improve your business results 

This week on The Business of Healthcare Podcast I discuss what is a Premortem?  

It is when you ask yourself and your team what you can do to make this initiative fail, then work backwards to ensure that these things are avoided. 

It's a great exercise to help you decide what you do NOT want to happen.  We asked the simple question “what could we do to make this fail?”
