How to Gain and Maintain Leadership Commitment – 2027 Summit Session

Turn leadership buy-in into lasting commitment that drives better investigations and stronger corrective actions.
Strong root cause analysis (RCA) programs need more than skilled investigators and a proven methodology. They need committed leadership. Without leadership support, investigations can lose momentum, corrective actions may go unfinished, and opportunities for meaningful improvement can be missed.
In this session, Amy Souders and Tim Diggs will explore practical strategies for gaining leadership buy-in and maintaining support for your TapRooT® RCA program. Learn how to demonstrate the value of effective investigations, communicate findings in ways that resonate with decision-makers, and connect root cause analysis to organizational priorities. Uncover how to build lasting leadership engagement that drives accountability, strengthens corrective actions, and turns investigation findings into measurable improvements.
