Delivery through Retrospection for Improvement
summary
A cooperative workshop uses the game Hanabi to practice delivery improvement through short plays and rapid retrospects: a trial round with three suits then a real round with five suits, strict no table talking, clues only by color or number, tokens for clues and a three bomb limit that ends the run. Teams count cards for points, experiment with discard patterns and silent signals, then retroactively align strategy; outcomes show fewer bombs, higher scores, clearer intention-sharing and faster, repeatable improvements.
