Failsafe University for Root Cause Analysis Training

What is Failsafe University?

In 2004, Failsafe recognized the need to provide a wide variety of training options to organizations pursuing Root Cause Analysis.  After a list of needs were developed, classes were outlined to fulfill these needs.  Some of the classes needed to be LIVE, with face-to-face interaction between the teacher and students.  Other classes needed to be LIVE, but performed over the web.  Finally, many classes did not need to be live, but rather pre-recorded.  As the list of classes were being prepared, it started to look like a University curriculum -- leading to the name Failsafe University.

 

What is The Latent Cause Experience?

Through many years of trial and error approaches to training people in Root Cause Analysis, Failsafe Network has discovered a recipe for either helping organizations to JUMP-START a new RCA effort or PUTTING LIFE into an old one.

Failsafe has discovered the need to train a CROSS-SECTION of the organization in one setting -- managers, technical resources, operations and maintenance -- even accounting and purchasing.  This is vital, since EVERYONE contributes to things that go wrong, and therefore EVERYONE needs to be involved in learning.

The GOAL of the LATENT CAUSE EXPERIENCE is to embed essential concepts within the psyches of each attendee.  To this end, Failsafe has discovered the value of using personal (home examples) to grab the attendees interest in an UNFORGETTABLE manner.

Who does the training?

Failsafe does not offer train-the-trainer packages, nor does it license hoards of people to train others in Failsafe' methods.  While many of Failsafe's competitors have diluted their principal's passion when conducting root cause analysis training, Failsafe insists on an undiluted, strong, and consistent message from its hand-picked trainers.  Therefore, at present only two people are providing Failsafe training:

C. Robert (Bob) Nelms has been either leading or performing root cause analysis training since 1974. A former member of Allied Chemical's Reliability Center, Bob founded Failsafe Network in 1985 when the Reliability Center was disbanded. He developed many of the popular root cause methods being taught by others today, and continues to develop unique and decisive ways to help people learn from things that go wrong.  Bob displays a passion when conducting root cause analysis training that, according to others, is catching.  Bob is available to deliver all of Failsafe's training materials.

Rob Statham is Failsafe's 1st Licensed Affiliate, and is rapidly becoming Failsafe's primary deliverer of Failsafe's Mini-LCA training.  Rob is a passionate and dynamic speaker and is a believer in the power of the Mini-LCA. He has been helping a number of organizations indoctrinate "the masses" with the Mini-LCA training.  Rob is available to deliver "Latent Cause Analysis for Everyone -- the Mini-LCA."

 

 

How can you get started?

FIRST: Attend a sponsored session of The Latent Cause Experience, as a guest.  Failsafe will give you a 10 year head-start over any other Root Cause Analysis training, but you have to take the first step and "taste" Failsafe's approaches. Most organizations get initially involved with Failsafe's training by reserving a GUEST SEAT at an On-Site Latent Cause Experience Training session sponsored by another client.

SECOND:  Bring The Latent Cause Experience to your own site.  Once you have attended one of the above root cause analysis training sessions, you will probably want to bring it to your own site.  Typically, a site exposes a cross-section of its organization to this training -- up to 30 people at a time to jump start the root cause analysis effort.  Managers, technical, and hands-on personnel typically attend this session.  It's the interaction between the levels that makes the training effective.  At the end of the 4-days, you'll have a core of people that are on-fire, ready and willing to make the root causes of your site's problems visible so they can be acted-on.

FINALLY:  Train the remainder of your work-force.  Once you have exposed a cross-section of your organization, you will want to quickly train the remainder of the workforce so that they know what's going on AND so that they can participate. 

You see, Root Cause Analysis is for EVERYONE because it's the things that cause big things.  Everyone needs to be involved, to varying degrees, in addressing the causes of small things.  In support of this need, Failsafe is providing a growing list of short, cost-effective, web-based root cause analysis training so that you can tailor the training to your needs.
