Why Do Good People Often Make Bad Decisions?
Using Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to Tell Our Story

Why do we often judge other people based on the outcomes of their decisions, yet when we make a poor decision, we preferred to be judged based our intent?  We all know that when we take a calculated risk, we can be either a hero or a zero with the very same decision.

In this presentation we will explore why good people often make poor decisions, and how we can use effective RCA to help us graphically express the thought processes related to our decisions, no matter the nature of the bad outcome.
This presentation will be interactive and using live input from the audience to turn principles into immediate practice.

Collectively as Reliability professionals, we need to band together to defeat the following paradigm:
​
“We NEVER seem to have the time and budget to do things right, but we ALWAYS seem to have the time and budget to do them again!”
