Click on any title above for details about that course.

There are three completely new courses this year. The first is:

Interpersonal communication
Adapting to do’s and don’ts
Emotional intelligence modification
Listening test
Content acquisition techniques
Responding types
Reducing confrontation
Facts vs. feelings
Ethical corrections
Nonverbal communication
Correcting with accountability

With Vincent Phipps teaching…

You know this will be an interactive, fun, informative class.

Kevin McManus will teach the second new course…

and is titled…

Measurement, Trending, and Predictive Analytics:
How the Best Use of Data to Improve Work

This is an important topic that causes great misunderstanding when reviewing safety, quality, production, equipment, or any improvement data. Kevin will remove any doubt about how data should be used and what data your management needs to understand performance.

The third new course is:

TapRooT® Executive Leadership Course

The course previously has been given to some of our major clients who were implementing the TapRooT® System. The course had a dramatic impact by explaining to senior management their role in root cause analysis and performance improvement and providing senior managers with a clear understanding of TapRooT® RCA and how their investigation teams find and present the results of a root cause analysis. The course made successful implementation a certainty.

Tim Diggs

If your senior management wants to become more involved in performance improvement efforts and provide senior leadership, they need to attend the 1-day course taught by Tim Diggs and Mark Paradies.

Many of these courses are only offered once each year, so don’t miss out.
