What Is Feedforward and Why Use It?
Feedforward shifts focus from past mistakes to future actions. By asking “What can I do better going forward?” you create a constructive, forward-looking dialogue.
Metaphor
Feedforward is like swapping a rearview mirror for a windshield: instead of rehashing what went wrong, you scan for what to do better ahead. The focus shifts from blame to possibility, turning critique into guidance.
This forward-looking dialogue not only reduces defensiveness but also builds momentum for real improvement.
