Problem Solving with Root Cause Analysis

September 21 @ 8:30 am - 11:30 am

RootWhen you pull weeds out of your yard or garden, what happens when you don’t get the roots? The weeds grow back. Likewise, when we solve a problem only at a symptom level, not at the root, the problem keeps coming back. Root Cause Analysis is a method to properly identify, define, analyze, and solve a problem at its root.
