How Do Good Procedures Contribute to High Reliability?
High-Reliability Best Practices Include Good Procedures
The High-Reliability Best Practices Track at the 2025 Global TapRooT® Summit is all about the best practices that you need to apply to achieve high reliability. One of the best practices is all about writing and using good procedures.
Good procedures are a cornerstone of Admiral Rickover’s operating philosophy. Amy Souders will share practical best practices to help you develop and publish procedures that are accurate, readable, and usable.
Her session is just one of the nine sessions in the High-Reliability Best Practices Track and the 2025 Global TapRooT® Summit.
Not Research: Real-World Experience/Lessons Learned
Mark Paradies, president of System Improvements, organized this track at the Summit. He has used his knowledge of high-reliability operations, observations of high-reliability organizations, and connections with people with real high-reliability experience to develop this track.
Why should you attend? Because the field of high reliability is filled with advice that one could call “suspect.” Advice is given by people who have never achieved high reliability or lived in a high-reliability organization. They don’t know the real cost of achieving high reliability. The:
- long hours
- attention to detail
- focus on conservative decisions
- avoiding normalization of deviation
- management training and technical qualifications
- total responsibility
- ability to face the facts and make tough decisions
and all the other details that are required to achieve high reliability.
That’s why Mark gathered people with real-world, high-reliability experience to share their best practices and lessons learned. Best practices and lessons learned that you will be interested in.
