Duration: 1 Day

Geared towards managers and supervisors across all business functions, this one-day workshop covers the concepts, lessons and steps of the Cause Mapping method, including a focus on 5-Why Cause Mapping, while building in some case studies, examples and exercises. Participants will establish a foundation for analyzing and preventing problems using cause-and-effect thinking. Attendees will learn how to drive a prevention-focused (vs blame) investigation, how to avoid problem miscommunications and will discover how a thorough problem explanation reveals better solution options to reduce risk, increase reliability and improve work processes.

Who should attend

Our Cause Mapping workshops will benefit anyone who wants to improve their problem-solving and problem communication skills. These skills are essential regardless of your industry or role within your organization.

All of our workshops cover the fundamentals of effective problem solving and then show you how to expand this process based on the complexity of the problems you work.

The Cause Mapping Fundamentals Workshop is a condensed version of our signature workshop and is designed to teach anyone how to more effectively solve problems.

Typical problem-solving role

  • Problem solver
  • Investigation contributor

WHAT TYPE OF PROBLEMS DO YOU NEED TO SOLVE?

The severity of a problem should dictate the level of analysis. For high-risk problems, a more detailed analysis will reveal a larger set of solutions across multiple work processes. More solutions = greater risk reduction.

FAQ

What is the difference between the Cause Mapping Fundamentals Workshop and the Standard Cause Mapping Workshop?

The Cause Mapping for Facilitators Workshop (2 days in length) provides enough time to reinforce concepts with extensive examples and exercises and also provides an opportunity to practice the approach on organization-specific problems. The Fundamentals workshop is condensed into one day and focuses on the same lessons and concepts around the Cause Mapping approach with abbreviated practice exercises to reinforce the concepts.

I don’t want to leave my office, can this workshop be presented online with a live instructor?

This workshop will give you the tools you need to effectively build a cause map for anything ranging from an equipment failure to a safety incident, allowing you to see different points in the causal chain to apply corrective actions and prevent unwanted effects. – Workshop attendee, Solvay

I was very impressed with this workshop. I’ve attended other Root Cause Analysis training sessions with other companies in the past, and this was the most useful in terms of content, primarily due to the structure it was able to provide for critically thinking through the problem, and the communication tools it supplied. – Workshop attendee, Lonza
