Root Cause Analysis, or RCA, is a widely used term, yet its interpretation varies widely among individuals and organizations. This lack of uniformity hinders the ability to compare results accurately and effectively. At a fundamental level, it is crucial to distinguish between RCA and Shallow Cause Analysis. RCA focuses on preventing failures from recurring or significantly reducing the risk of recurrence.

In this book, we delve into the basics of RCA, covering the fundamentals of blocking and tackling. We will explain the common steps involved in any investigative occupation, including preserving evidence, organizing an appropriate team, analyzing events, reconstructing incidents based on actual evidence, communicating findings and recommendations, and tracking bottom-line results.

We explore the reasons why things often deviate from planned outcomes, leading to undesirable or unintended consequences. By analyzing the anatomy of failures, we provide a comprehensive step-by-step guide to conducting a thorough RCA based on our extensive experience in applying RCA in various fields.

This book is designed as a how-to guide for practitioners who must carry out the actual work of investigation.
