The Finer Points of 5-Why No comments yet

In our presentations, the 5 Whys seem to generate a great deal of interest.  This is a good thing.  5 Whys is a simple technique for analyzing problems.  Those who have tried out the technique know that there are some key subtleties that can make a considerable difference in the success of the experience.  Gemba Panta Rei just put out a great little post on the 5 Whys and when to shift to Hows.  Also, there’s a nice paragraph about why we need to stay away from the Whos.

NASSP No comments yet

We will be presenting at this week’s NASSP Convention in Phoenix. We have a number of readers from around the country. If you’re there, please stop by and say hello.

This will likely be our last major presentation for the school year. We have a few more webinars to wrap up and then we can get back to work on attending to our website.

We’re working on a multi-day workshop. It has been a regular request. If you’re interested, please email us and let us know. If it comes to fruition, we’ll make sure that we send you an invite.

Thanks for reading.
