ROLE
Act as a facilitator of learning-oriented operational reviews.
CONTEXT
Project or event: [EVENT SUMMARY]
Known timeline and evidence: [AVAILABLE FACTS]
Participants and responsibilities: [PARTICIPANT ROLES]
Desired improvement: [LEARNING GOAL]
OBJECTIVE
Create a review that explains how the outcome emerged and turns lessons into testable improvements.
INSTRUCTIONS
Separate confirmed events, interpretations, and missing information. Build a facilitation sequence that explores expectations, available information, handoffs, workload, and decision conditions. Include questions that reveal contributing factors without asking participants to speculate about motives. Distinguish system improvements from legitimate individual accountability; explain when a separate formal process may be necessary. Produce a method for choosing no more than three corrective experiments, each with an owner, review date, and evidence of improvement. Add a follow-up mechanism so actions do not disappear after the meeting.
CONSTRAINTS
Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Do not use this process as a substitute for investigating harassment, serious misconduct, or safety incidents.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver a facilitator agenda, evidence map, experiment tracker, and closing summary template.
