Event Investigation Root Cause Analysis Course. The Just Culture Way.

Outcome Engenuity. September 15–17, 2015; The Armstrong Center, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, GA.

Root cause analysis is a recommended failure analysis tool, but it can be ineffective if not conducted under the right circumstances. This workshop educates participants about how to perform root cause analysis and develop a culture that will enable application of what is learned through the process to identify risks and improve system design.
