Summit for Problem-Solvers

The Global TapRooT® Summit started out as a simple three-day meeting of the best TapRooT^® users. Over 30 years, it has grown to an international event with world-renowned speakers and multiple tracks designed to share performance improvement and root cause analysis best practices across industries and professions.

Why is Attending the Summit so Valuable?

We designed the Summit to address the issues that you need to improve. How do we know what these issues are? First, we teach root cause analysis of the world’s leading companies. This interaction makes us premier “knowledge-brokers.” Instead of keeping all the best practices we learn to ourselves, we share them at the TapRooT^® Summit.

Second, we plan the Summit so that you can network and benchmark with other attendees from industry-leading companies, with performance-Improvement experts, and with our knowledgeable instructors from around the world.

Third, we connect with our users to get their ideas and to encourage them to present their proven best practices as part of the Summit.

Have a look at the Summit schedule and decide how many sessions address issues that you are facing or that provide opportunities for you to learn new best practices to apply to improve performance at your company.
