Building Root Cause Analysis Skills
A practical programme in root cause analysis skills for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
Most disputes about root cause analysis skills begin as a conversation that was handled badly. Data on analysis skills is abundant; insight about it is not. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider people management and development agenda and prepares them for it. Improvement in root cause analysis skills stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the people management and development discipline before they become incidents. Applied research in people management and development consistently shows that early structure around analysis skills reduces downstream rework. This programme builds root cause analysis skills from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for analysis skills, not for observers of it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this aspect of people management and development survives a hostile question.
