Taproot

We held another full TapRooT® course in Bogotá last week.  Colombia is certainly a popular place for improvement programs!

Thanks to Nelson Suarez and Marco Flores for teaching the course, and Diana Munévar for setting up the great venue!

Let us know if you are interested in attending or hosting a TapRooT® course in your area.  info@TapRooT.com

Sanjay Gandhi, our TapRooT® instructor in Africa, sent these pictures from a recent 5-Day TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course in Cape Town.

First, the class photo …

Next, people participating in the “House-of-Cards” opening exercise …

Next, people drawing their first SanpCharT® …

Then, people practicing “Cognitive Interviewing” skills …

And finally, the presentations in the final exercise!

People went home with new skills to make them better investigators and that will help their company achieve better performance.
