Show Notes

Too many year-end retrospectives suffer from recency and peak-end biases, causing them to devolve into superficial reviews or Q4 gripe sessions. In this episode, we share a structured approach to help teams and organizations overcome those biases and conduct meaningful reflection sessions that drive real improvement.

Learn how to:
Start with purpose to ground your retrospective
Use the ORID framework (Observation, Reflection, Interpretation, Decision) to guide meaningful discussion
Create timelines that capture the full year’s experience
Scale the approach for different team sizes and contexts

Whether you’re planning an individual reflection, team retrospective, or organization-wide review, this episode provides practical tools to make your year-end reflection more valuable.
