Solving Complex Problems with Systemic Root Cause Analysis (SRCA) Model

Applying Systems Thinking to Identify and Address Root Causes

Introduction

This course is designed to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and tools to solve complex problems using the Systemic Root Cause Analysis (SRCA) model. The SRCA model is a systems thinking approach that helps identify and address the underlying causes of problems, rather than just treating the symptoms. This approach can be applied to a wide range of problems, from technical issues to organizational challenges. By applying the SRCA model, participants will be able to develop effective solutions that address root causes, leading to sustained improvement in performance.
