If you are reading this page, your are either personally interested in this
subject, or you have been asked (or told) to "get trained" in this subject by
someone else. If you have been told to be trained in this subject,
our hope and mission is to stimulate your interest -- hopefully to tap into your
innate need to know why things go wrong. If we can activate this latent interest
within you and focus it on "small problems," you'll be a positive and powerful
influence wherever you are.
On the other hand, you might already have a keen interest in this subject,
but find yourself in an organization that does NOT share your interest.
If so, please recognize that you are in the majority -- it is rare to find an organization whose management consistently demands a
"root cause understanding" of things that go wrong.
Sure, many organizations reactively investigate their large problems. But few organizations are willing to
invest the time and energy into involving everyone in learning from
small problems in order to prevent the big ones.
It is more likely to find isolated
individuals within an organization, perhaps like yourself, who are tired
of ignoring the spinning, whirling, nonsensical "the Merry-Go-Round" --
not whiners and complainers, but DOERS -- people with positive attitudes
who desire to make the world a better place, champions in their own right.
Are you
this kind of person, keenly interested in this field of "Root Cause Analysis?" Is this
an endeavor you consider worthy, something you'd like to pursue? Or
have you been told to pursue this kind of training? Whichever person
you are, Failsafe would like to help -- not because we have
all the answers, but because we have the same interests and we see the
same value.
We'll do our best to help you change,
so that others can follow your lead.
That's the key --
LEAD BY EXAMPLE. You cannot expect others to do something you're
not willing to do, or think in a way you're not willing to think. On
the other hand, miracles occur when individual people like you take a
stand and intentionally try to see themselves as part of the
problem instead of merely blaming someone (or something) else. We're
not talking here about a masochistic, nonsensical, self flagellation.
We are talking about the sincere desire to set an example by looking
beyond the surface of a problem instead of merely reacting. People
will NOTICE if you consistently behave in this manner.
The following
Individual Path has been developed to get you up-to-speed quickly and
then help you find others who are interested in this subject. You
will undoubtedly make progress within your organization by becoming
connected with others who share the same dream:
