Stop Blaming The Same Old "False" Root Causes

Updated May 19, 2022

Now offered as an online training program!


---  the original post follows below  ---

Pinpointing the wrong cause (for example, a "false" root cause) can result in ineffective immediate, corrective, and preventive actions.
  • Throwing fixes at the wrong things might not fix the problem.
  • Blaming and overusing human error as the root cause can result in incomplete and ineffective root cause analysis.
By taking our courses, you'll more confidently identify the real root causes, and craft clearer and more concise investigation reports.
