Why Human Error is NOT a Root Cause

Who Should Attend

Any team interested in improving human performance with root cause analysis would benefit from this webinar. We especially advise those who disagree to attend!

What You’ll Learn

Human error is just the starting point of an investigation, not the stopping point. If we want to improve our systems and avoid repeated failures, we need to understand human error as a symptom of an underlying issue. Join Alex Paradies and learn how to pinpoint and eliminate those deep rooted problems with root cause analysis.

EQ Vs IQ: Why Emotional Intelligence Matters

Who Should Attend

For teams wanting to harbor a more positive working environment with root cause analysis, emotional intelligence is an especially important skill to understand.

What You’ll Learn

Emotional Quotient (EQ) refers to our ability to understand, utilize, and manage our emotions effectively. This impacts our decision-making, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and social skills, which can sway an investigation awry if unchecked. Emily Pritt will provide techniques to balance EQ and IQ for your team.
