Day 1 focuses on the fundamental principles and concepts of the Cause Mapping approach reinforced with examples and exercises. Day 2 of the workshop begins to show how the approach applies to real-world organization-specific problems. The final exercise of the day is applying the Cause Mapping method on organization-specific problems identified by workshop attendees. This root cause analysis workshop provides the ideal blend of theory & principles, examples & exercises, and organization-specific application.
