New Book 3 Explains Low-to-Medium Risk TapRooT® Incident Investigations

New Book 3 for Low-to-Medium Risk Incident Investigations

In 2008 we wrote the book TapRooT® – Changing the Way the World Solves Problems. In one book, we stuffed in all the information we thought was needed for anyone from a beginner to an expert trying to improve their root cause analysis program. It was a great book – very complete.

As the years passed, I realized that everybody didn’t need everything. In fact, everything might even seem confusing to those who were just getting started. They just wanted to be able to apply the proven essential TapRooT® Techniques to investigate low-to-moderate risk incidents.

Finally, I understood. For a majority of users, the big book was overkill. They wanted something simpler. Something that was easy to understand and as easy as possible to use and get consistent, high-quality results. They wanted to use TapRooT® RCA but didn’t care about trending, investigating fatalities, advanced interviewing techniques, or optional techniques that they would not be applying.

Therefore, I spent months deciding what the bare essentials were and how they could be applied as simply as possible while still being effective. Then Linda Unger and I spent more months writing an easy-to-read 50-page book explaining everything. (Yes … it takes more work to write something simple.)
