Failsafe Network, Inc.

About

Failsafe Network, Inc. was incorporated in February, 1985.  Our focus has always been on "helping people learn from things that go wrong."   

 

Our understanding of things that go wrong has changed considerably since 1985.  Whereas we originally helped people understand and address the PHYSICS of their problems, that is "how things break," we are now helping people to address the underlying human aspects of just about everything that goes wrong in our lives.

In other words, we have accumulated knowledge about Latent Cause Analysis™️, Root Cause Analysis, IntroSpect™, Human Performance, and Just Culture.

 

We help businesses improve by learning from the things that go wrong. Our company is built on the foundation of Latent Cause Analysis™, which is significantly different than Root Cause Analysis.  Latent Cause Analysis™ (LCA) leads to profound learning.  LCA provides a life-changing way of understanding and addressing the entirety of a problem; the physics of what went wrong, the defects and weaknesses within our systems, processes, & procedures, and the people involved, us, we see ourselves as part of our problems in a way we are motivated to act on what we have seen rather than point fingers at other people and things.

We provide customized classroom training, online resources, and consulting services for an entire organization:  from line level employees to managers and executives. 

 

 It's been a fascinating journey -- and one which we feel honored and privileged to be part of.
