In this short talk, Ben Morton points out that after a team finishes a large project, there is often only a brief exhale and a quick move onto the next task, with little genuine reflection. He observes a pervasive culture in many organizations where work proceeds in a near‑constant forward‑motion—project to project, quarter to quarter, crisis to crisis—leaving teams with minimal time to stop, reflect, and reset. The only structured moment for reflection he notes is at the end of the year, after roughly eleven months of relentless activity. Morton’s message underscores the need for intentional, timely reflection moments after major work to capture learning, prevent burnout, and improve future performance.
