How to Lead Great Investigations – Incident Investigation Training Workbook
We lose too much time and money when we investigate problems that continue to come back. All too often, incident investigators fail to ask key questions and effectively listen to collect the evidence they need from interviews. They fail to capture key paper and screen evidence. Plus, they fail to spot human factors concerns in the workplace. In turn, investigation process delays occur. Additionally, investigators miss key root causes and propose weak recommendations. Finally, we fail to treat our investigation efforts as a process that we can manage, evaluate, and improve. Thus, the need for this incident investigation training workbook.

Do your incident investigation interviewers ask great questions and listen to others? Do you efficiently collect all of the evidence that you need?
