High Stakes Project Post Mortem Results for Leading Gaming Studio

Redwood Shores, CA – LSA Global, the leading business consulting, coaching, and training firm that helps fast growth life science, technology, and service companies by powerfully aligning their culture and talent with strategy, today announced results for a high stakes project post mortem for a leading gaming studio.

• 98% Job Relevance
• 95% Satisfaction
• 129% Knowledge Gain
• 90.0% Net Promoter Score
• Agreement and commitment to the top 10 actions to improve future projects

The 85 person cross-disciplined team of artists, designers, producers, quality controllers, testers, technologists, and core team engineers faced inconsistent production and project management practices, missed deadlines, and decreased team morale.

For this high stakes project post mortem, the studio wanted a fresh and unbiased retrospective to create shifts in mindsets, behaviors, and outcomes by:

1. Getting Everything Out on the Table
   So that everyone feels heard and an honest discussion can take place
2. Reflecting and Learning
   Capture and distill key lessons (e.g., what is working, what is not working, barriers to success) to-date that matter most for their unique strategy, context, and situation
3. Identifying Key Actions
   Convert the lessons into the critical few key and practical actions for future titles (that will actually have support and happen) so that the individuals, teams, and studio are set up to succeed in a way that makes sense from both a people and business perspective

The scope included reviewing relevant Studio documentation related to the project and its current project management processes, conducting interviews with key stakeholders, administering a customized project best practice assessment for 85 stakeholders, and facilitating a virtual post mortem session to help create closure, gather feedback, and agree upon next steps that will actually get implemented in their unique culture.
