First, what is the Summit all about? This video will give you an idea…

Yes, in 1994, we were the first conference focused on root cause analysis, human performance, and performance improvement. See the Summit history HERE.

Bring Your Team & Revolutionize Your Company’s Performance Improvement Efforts

Yes, you should be at the 2027 Global TapRooT® Summit being held on April 5-9 at the Margaritaville Resort, Lake Conroe, near Houston, Texas. But your company will benefit even more if you bring the whole problem-solving team. Your:

  • Incident Investigators,
  • Certified TapRooT® Instructors,
  • Union Reps,
  • Equipment Reliability Experts,
  • Safety Committee Members, and
  • Operational Excellence Experts.

You might say:

WOW! That’s a lot of people.

But it will be worthwhile. How?

First, you will have enough people to cover all the sessions in all six Best Practice Tracks.

2027 Summit Best Practice Breakout Tracks

Get the team together each night to discuss what you have learned and plan how to use the ideas to improve performance at your company. You will find that this gets your team back on track with a performance improvement agenda.

Second, encourage your whole team to network. Not just with your own folks, but with all the other Summit participants. The:

  • Speakers,
  • TapRooT® Instructors,
  • People from other companies in their industry, and
  • People from other companies in other industries.

Have your team prepare before the Summit by listing the questions they would like to ask and the practices they want to benchmark. Be strategic. Use the Whova app to set meetings and invite dinner guests. Also, post questions that you have on the app. Networking opportunities we plan include the Name Game, the Women in TapRooT® reception Tuesday night, the Summit reception Wednesday night, breakfasts and lunches, and several sessions with roundtable discussions. This planned networking, plus the random networking that always happens, will give you ideas for even more improvements when you get home.

Next, register your team for pre-Summit Courses. See the seven courses to choose from HERE. Once again, encourage your team to share what they have learned.

Equifactor® Course

NOTE: When you bring a team to a pre-Summit Course, you can receive a substantial discount on the combined course and Summit fees. Up to $900 OFF per team member when you register them all at one time. See the discounts below.

The special 2-day courses include:

  • TapRooT® Software & AI
  • Learning Teams & RCA for Proactive Improvement
  • Advanced Presentation Skills
  • Effective Interviewing & Evidence Collection
  • Analyzing & Fixing Safety Culture
  • Equifactor® Equipment Troubleshooting & TapRooT® RCA

These courses go far beyond the 2-Day TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course (which is also offered before the Summit and is a great way to train untrained team members). And you will need your whole team to cover them all.

Fourth, toward the end of the Summit, have your team develop a roadmap for success. Your TapRooT® Implementation Advisor can help you do this. It will make it much more effective to implement your ideas when you return to work.

TapRooT® Roadmap to Success

Finally, get someone to volunteer for the TapRooT® Advisory Board. This board helps plan the next Summit, provides ideas for improving the TapRooT® System and Software, and helps test improvement ideas. This keeps your company involved in making TapRooT® RCA the best root cause analysis system and the Summit the best root cause analysis and performance improvement conference. And your company will be on the cutting edge of applying TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis. Contact Amy Souders at 865-539-2139 to nominate your participant.

One last thing to consider. Your team falls under the Summit Guaranteed ROI:

Attend the Global TapRooT® Summit. Return to work ready to implement a clear roadmap to success. We’re so confident in the value you’ll gain that we back it with our guarantee: if you don’t save at least 10 times the cost of your Summit fee, simply return your materials and we’ll refund 100% of your registration.

That should help you feel that investing in attending the Summit as part of a team is worthwhile.

Bring Your Management Sponsors

There is someone else you should add to the team you are bringing to the Summit. Your management sponsor (or sponsors). They can share in generating new ideas. They can network with other senior managers attending the Summit. They will go back aligned with the improvement efforts to implement and help secure senior and middle management support for the work that needs to be done.
