Our mission is to make cause investigations as easy to do and as simple as possible while still providing an unmatched level of insight into all of the fundamental causal factors. Effective corrective actions derived from causal investigations are key to any organization’s performance improvement effort. Implementing the right corrective actions is also an important element in reducing operating costs. However, corrective actions cannot fully resolve problems if they do not address and fix the underlying causes. The Cause Road Map© helps the investigator ensure causes related to the event are identified so appropriate corrective actions can be taken.

We understand there are multiple tools available for investigating human performance and equipment problems. The Cause Road Map© makes your investigation task easier because it covers both human performance and hardware failure causes / modes. Constructed as a taxonomy, the graphical structure separates the various cause factors into groups with common characteristics and sub-divides these groups into a hierarchic order based on their relative significance or importance. During more that five years of validation, event investigators found the Cause Road Map© to be intuitive and easy to use. They used the Cause Road Map© to:

• Develop a data gathering checklist
• Develop corrective actions
• Validate chain of cause logic
• Ask the next ‘Why’
• Develop interview questions
• Present investigation results
