The way in which you implement TapRooT® is important. It should be implemented properly, and you will need a good strategy, a strong strategic plan.

About your strategic plan: Get everyone invested and involved—from employees to leadership to management
It has to be a team effort, meaning everyone works together. If you don’t have management buy-in and a cohesive strategy—including buy-in from the people who will actually be doing the job—there will be issues.
The first TapRooT® resource to employ in your implementation is the TapRooT® Leadership Lessons book.
TapRooT® is not just a root cause methodology. It’s an entire plan, a complete program.
Develop your strategic plan: Why should it take two years to develop something when you have something that can be implemented right now?
As TapRooT® professionals emphasize, “Speed wins.” By this, they mean that implementing TapRooT® is not a long, drawn-out process.

We can help you put together a roadmap for success . . . a plan that works for you . . . a full program for improving your business. It’s not just safety; it’s not just operations; it’s not just quality—it’s everything.
