How Detailed Should a Root Cause Analysis Be?

July 7 at 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM CDT

Do you want to see the forest or the trees? One of the questions we get often is, “How much detail is enough for my root cause analysis?” If there’s not enough detail, it’s easy to miss important elements within the incident. With too much detail, the investigation will get bogged down with trivial issues - wasting time and frustrating those involved. Because problems in your organization are different severities, different problems need to be worked at different levels. If your company has a one size fits all approach, you will under analyze some problems and overanalyze others. This webinar will explain how your investigations can begin simply, then expand, as needed, into a more complete explanation to reveal a variety of different solution options.

Using the Process Map to Lead a More Effective RCA Investigation

July 14 at 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM CDT

High reliability organizations (HRO) rely on highly reliable work processes. When a problem occurs, your investigation reveals opportunities to improve work processes. Unfortunately, many investigations fall short of this important connection with a simple explanation like “procedure needs improvement.” This explanation is NOT specific or effective at revealing actionable solutions to reduce risk. This webinar will show you how an effective investigation must focus on breakdowns in your work processes and how to use the process map as an effective tool to drive this critical discussion.

How to Investigate: Human Error Online Short Course – July 14

July 14 at 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM CDT

The How to Investigate: Human Error short course focuses specifically on how to drive your investigation past many of the common generic stopping points such as “human error." Instead of providing a thorough explanation for the problem, we stop at just the point where further explanation is needed. As a result, solutions are often generic focusing solely on the person. We miss a valuable opportunity for lessons learned to improve and manage by work process.
The workshop highlights the importance of work process and how the type of error made can drive specific solutions that improve work process.

How a 5-Why Expands Into a Complete Investigation – Pre-Recorded

July 28 at 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM CDT

Every investigation, regardless of its complexity, can begin with a simple 5-Why. Bigger incidents will be broken down into more detail. Even as the investigation expands into a larger analysis it does not contradict the initial 5-Why. Smaller incidents have few parts and bigger incidents have more parts, but the cause-and-effect principle doesn't change. It can be applied consistently to all incidents.

The Important Connection Between RCA and FMEA

September 12 at 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM CDT

Root cause analysis (RCA) is typically used for investigating why a problem did occur so that specific solutions can be implemented to prevent it from occurring again. Failure modes effect analysis (FMEA) is used to understand how a problem could happen in the future, to identify what actions should be taken to prevent it. Learn how to connect these two approaches to improve the way your organization analyzes, documents, communicates and prevents problems.
