"Hindsight is 20/20."
Instead of waiting for something to go wrong and then conducting a post-mortem, conduct a “pre-mortem” by imagining it went wrong then using the power of hindsight to deduce the likeliest reason it went wrong.

What could have been the most likely reason? Is there anything you can do today to prevent that? Imagine you lose your job.
