But Wait, There’s More!

The Advanced TapRooT® Skills Track is an important part of the Summit, but the Summit is so much more.

Pre-Summit Courses

Before the Summit on April 24-25, there are ten pre-Summit Courses to choose from:

• TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course
• Equifactor® Equipment Troubleshooting & TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course
• Effective Communication Certification
• TapRooT® Evidence Collection and Interviewing Techniques Course
• Measurement, Trending, and Predictive Analytics: How the Best Use Data to Improve Work
• Getting the Most From Your TapRooT® Software

• Stopping Human Error Course

What would I recommend as the best choices for someone interested in Advanced TapRooT® Skills? Here are several choices…

1. First, if you haven’t attended Barb Carr’s TapRooT® Evidence Collection and Interviewing Techniques Course, I would highly recommend it.
2. Audits and Proactive Improvement Using TapRooT®. This is an excellent course for people looking to proactively improve performance and fits like a hand in a glove for those interested in using their TapRooT® RCA Skills proactively.
3. Effective Communication Certification. All TapRooT® Investigators need effective communication skills. And Vincent I Phipps (VIP – the instructor) is a great person to learn communication skills from. Many previous Summit participants will recognize Vincent as one of our previous Keynote Speakers who received rave reviews.
4. Measurement, Trending, and Predictive Analytics: How the Best Use Data to Improve Work. Kevin McManus will be teaching this course that explains how to use advanced measurement and trending techniques to manage everyday work and trend performance improvement.
5. Equifactor® Equipment Troubleshooting & TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course taught by Justin Clark. You don’t have to be an equipment guru to benefit from this course.

All of the courses above are full of valuable knowledge and techniques that you can put to work in a TapRooT® Investigation. Click on any course title for details about that course. 

Keynote Speakers

Next, during the Summit, we have five outstanding, insightful Keynote Speakers…

And people interested in improving investigations and root cause analysis will certainly be interested in Susan Carnicero’s talk “Spy the Lie.” While at the CIA, she developed a technique to help spot deception during an interview. She will share this technique with Summit participants.

Networking

Next, the networking at the TapRooT® Summit is amazing. People often say that even though the best practice sessions and the Keynote Speakers are outstanding, networking is the most valuable aspect of the TapRooT® Summit. You can learn so much from your peers.

CLICK HERE for a quick reminder of why networking at the Summit is so important.

And don’t forget that in the Advanced TapRooT® Skills Track there is a Sharing Investigation & RCA Best Practices Session as well as a a session where TapRooT® Users share their success stories.

Fun!

Finally, I can’t talk about the important features of the Summit without mentioning how FUN the Summit is. We think that making the Summit fun actually improves the learning experience.

How do we make the Summit so fun? I think it starts with the great people who are TapRooT® Users and TapRooT® Instructors who are at the Summit.

Then there is the Wednesday night reception. 

Plus, the Margaritaville Lake Resort is a really fun place to hold the Summit.
