Advanced Root Cause Analysis Fundamentals Course for Lean Six Sigma Practitioners

Transform How Your Organization Solves Problems

In a comprehensive study of over 332,860 executives, Zenger-Folkman identified problem-solving as the most critical skill for middle managers. Lean Six Sigma practitioners feel this acutely: a well-scoped project can move smoothly through Define, Measure, and the statistical analysis—and still stall when it is time to pin down why a process is not performing as designed. Too often the result is a shallow "human error" conclusion and corrective actions that fail to prevent recurrence. The 2-day Advanced Root Cause Analysis Fundamentals for Lean Six Sigma Practitioners Course supplies the missing piece—a revolutionary, AI-enhanced approach to causal analysis, proven in some of the most demanding operational environments in the world, and built to plug directly into the Analyze phase of DMAIC.

What Makes This Course Different

Unlike the legacy root-cause tools most practitioners inherit—fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys chains, and disconnected timelines—BlueDragon provides an integrated problem-solving operating system that consolidates the best elements of proven methodologies into a single, coherent framework. Students learn to conduct Rapid Apparent Cause Evaluations (RACE™) that solve most problems in 2-4 hours—not weeks—while simultaneously developing the critical thinking, systems thinking, and complex problem-solving skills that are increasingly essential in today's high-stakes environments.
