Everyone takes turns answering the question: If you could go back in time and change anything about the organization, what would it be? And why?
How to do it
This is a good warmup activity for anything to do with strategy, planning, team health, or change management. As the facilitator, make sure everyone gets equal time on the mic for this one. Some might find it a little bit tricky, so feel free to start yourself (with a fairly simple example), to give people a chance to think.
Variations
If you have a large group, having everyone say their answer to the whole group can take too long. Instead, split the group into pairs, and get each pair to ask each other the same question. Once you call everyone back together, you might want to ask for just one or two examples of what people shared.
