Master Series: Changing the Blame Game with Root Cause Analysis

May 18th, May 25th | 2 Week Virtual Master Class | $150

Continuous Improvement isn’t a special program or a project assigned to process improvement "experts."

Everyone participates. A problem-solving culture must be built on a strong infrastructure, just as living organisms depend on a skeleton for form and function. Lean is 80% about the behaviors and 20% about the tools. Root Cause Analysis (RCA), when considered a way of thinking instead of a single tool, embodies the essence of Lean leadership. A Lean leader doesn’t blame the people in the process but digs for the causes that enabled the people to make mistakes. It has to be "safe" to look for operational vulnerabilities and talk about problems. Leaders need to acknowledge the complexity of processes and seek ways to simplify the work.

Master Series: May 18th, May 25th at 12:00 PM Eastern

Join us for this new blended program combining live broadcasts with a short eLearning course. The program features real-life examples of how RCA can help reduce everyday process problems to improve safety, quality, and lead time.

After completing the Series, you will be able to:

  1. Identify the factors that add complexity to processes and the work environment.
  2. Seek ways to simplify work processes by taking a systems approach.
  3. Understand RCA from multiple perspectives: as a Continuous Improvement strategy, as a problem-solving tool, as part of a daily management system, and as a skill to empower the entire workforce.
  4. Reframe RCA from a tool to a systematic way of thinking across the organization.

Registration Fee is $150. Course and Software Included.

We’re pleased to support your professional development and the continued success of your organization.
