"From day one, the facilitators reframed the entire purpose of an investigation. It isn’t about pinning down a culprit; it’s about excavating the organizational, procedural, and human factors that line up to create a failure. They walked us through a suite of root cause analysis tools—5 Whys, fishbone diagrams, barrier analysis, and SCAT—and, crucially, showed us when and why to use each one. The hands-on case studies were drawn from real, complex industrial events, and the facilitators pushed us to look beyond the obvious “operator error” to uncover latent conditions like poorly designed interfaces, production-pressure signals, and normalization of deviance. I came away with a forensic lens I didn’t know I was missing."
