Tool: Root Cause Analysis: Understanding a Community Need
Publication Date: April 2024
Core Competencies: Ongoing Improvement
Root cause analysis is a process used to investigate and categorize the root cause of community needs. The root cause is the fundamental reason for the occurrence of a problem. Root cause analysis allows teams to look more deeply at identified challenges and investigate precursors that could be addressed to prevent the need or problem from resurfacing. As with a weed, the challenge must be ‘rooted out’ to prevent it from reappearing in the future. In particular, root cause analysis helps identify systems-level factors related to identified needs and can assist organizations with implementation barrier-busting. The guidance below provides templates for four root cause analysis protocols and facilitation tips.
