Organizations apply a variety of tools to solve problems, improve operations and increase reliability—many times without success. Why? More than likely, they make one or a combination of six common errors. Overcoming these errors involves knowing why they happen and how to prevent them. Armed with this knowledge, both employees and managers can improve problem-solving in any organization.

A problem in your business can be thought of as an “information knot.” Different people from different departments each know part of the problem. The facilitator collects and organizes all of the details in an incident. He or she essentially untangles the knot to provide complete explanation of what happened and why. An effective facilitator provides clarity. Sometimes people think of a facilitator as the person who leads meetings, but a root cause analysis facilitator manages the entire investigation process. It starts from the time an incident occurs and continues through the analysis and documentation, to the implementation of solutions and the communication of lessons learned. This webinar explains the basics of facilitation and the role it plays in understanding and preventing problems in your business.


The term “procedure not followed” is used to explain when a person didn’t follow a defined work process. Many organizations mistakenly believe “procedure not followed” is the end of an investigation. The next question, “Why wasn’t the procedure followed?” is where you find the “good stuff.” Too often, companies don’t do an effective job digging into the details of why a particular procedure wasn’t followed. This webinar introduces the basics for preventing “procedure not followed” issues in your operations.


During this two-hour training webinar, you will learn to dissect some of the troubled work processes in your company. Many organizations mistakenly believe “procedure not followed” is the end of an investigation.

The solutions implemented provide a great example that there’s more than one way to solve a problem.
