Pre-Mortem: What Goes Wrong in 6 Months

Conduct a six-month pre-mortem on a major decision by identifying likely failure points, overlooked risks, flawed assumptions, and underestimated market, operational, or patient-behavior factors.

I’m about to [decision — e.g. open a new location / launch a new service line / hire a physician liaison / invest in a major marketing campaign / sign a new vendor contract].

Imagine it’s 6 months from now and it went badly. Work backward: What went wrong? What did I ignore? What assumption was wrong? What did I underestimate about the healthcare market, operations, or patient behavior?
