I’ve riffed on retrospective exercise developed by Ellen Gottesdiener and Mary Gorman. That exercise uses 4 L’s in a quadrant format. The quadrants are labeled Liked, Lacked, Longed For, and Learned.
I use 3 columns, Liked, Lacked and Learned. Then after the team has filled in those columns generally as a shout out exercise, I draw a line under them and ask, “So what are we going to Leverage from today? What commitment can we make to take what we discovered today in order to make tomorrow better?”
It’s working well for me!
J’ai récupéré cet exercice de rétrospective, il a initialement été développé par Ellen Gottesdiener et Mary Gorman. Cet exercice utilise 4 L (NdT : ici 4 A) dans un format quadrant. Les quadrants sont étiquetés “Aimé”, “Absent”, “Attendu” et “Appris”.
J’utilise 3 colonnes, “Aimé”, “Absent” et “Appris”. L’équipe remplit ensuite ces colonnes généralement en criant les idées, puis je trace un trait en dessous et je demande : “Alors, qu’allons-nous actionner à partir d’aujourd’hui ? Quel engagement pouvons-nous nous prendre, en fonction de ce que nous avons découvert aujourd’hui, et rendre demain meilleur ?”.
Ça a bien fonctionné pour moi !
