Root Cause Analysis Series- Step 2: Causal Analysis Guide for Problem Exploration

This informational handout will assist in selecting the best method of causal analysis to use moving forward. With the problem statement and supporting data from Step 1, the next task is to identify causal factors and root cause(s). 

The steps in this toolkit are:

Step 1: Problem Definition

Step 2: Problem Exploration (An introduction to causal analysis is provided, alongside 3 options for completion)

Step 3: Implementing Solutions

Step 4: Testing Chosen Strategies

Continuing to build on work from Step 1 you need to ensure you understand all problems you could have as you move through this work.
