What is your experience with Conflicts of Interest (COI) in event investigations. COI can be a line of inquiry. For example, a manager might fail to take ...
Bill C, Different folks have different perspectives on what constitutes a "conflict of interest". I have seen lots of COI, but only from my perspective. COI...
Bill, I'm curious what evidence exists for "Rarely do COIs lead to successful cover-ups of illegal / unethical practices." and "Experts have solved many...
Scott, My point was that the influence of COIs is a matter of perspective. Involving or prohibiting a COI in an investigation may be good management to one...
Bill, its like looking for gold and you find some silver. You are not going to throw it away. I have called this "unrelated adverse conditions" when I teach...
Terry, Thanks ever so much. It's like finding explosives in a car stopped for a dead headlight. Do you have any examples from your experience? One of my...
I agree with the earlier post that a definition of COI in an investigation would aid the discussion here. What represents a COI in any situation depends on...
Scroll down for an NRC press release. NRC says, "The licensee is investigating to determine the cause of the event." This implies that there is one cause. ...
Bill Salot and "exiled2", Thanks for your thought-provoking postings on this thread. The COI that bothers me most is where rooticians can either do their jobs...
Bill C., I think the advice that you "pass on to rooticians in that double-bind Catch 22 COI" should be to raise the issue diplomatically, rather than be...
Bill C., Yes, the NRC report does say "The licensee is investigating to determine the cause of the event". But it also says the NRC "Special Inspection Team"...
Bill Salot, Thanks. If I had had your advice thirteen years ago I might be on a different career path. Take care, Bill Corcoran Mission: Saving lives, pain,...
Bill C., Is that a subtle way of saying you disagree? What has been your past advice on this issue? Bill Salot ________________________________ From:...
In the HPI world that I just spent 2 weeks deepening my understanding, these are called goal conflicts and are a latent organizational weakness if they create...
Glen, Thanks. Your 60-70% rework is probably fair. In your mind, do you have a definition of rework that would cover most of the 60-70%? How much of that could...
Bill Salot, I agree with your advice. I have not had the occasion to advise people on this topic. My approach in the past has been: 1.. Tell the truth, the...
Bill C, your reply made me laugh because I, too, would surely be on a different career path had I had Bill S's advice much earlier in my career. The beauty of...
Glen, Is your mailing address a joke . . . just "SOAPBOX, POBOX1, Neverland, USA"? No state? No zip code? Bill Salot ________________________________ From:...
yup, my wife calls it a "nonsense" of humor- sorry, but my 'humor' does relieve some of my stress -smile- glen -desk-806-477-4953 -pager-806-640-0649 ... Glen,...
Like I say, I am just working the HPI stuff into my working philosophy, but I'll take a stab at definitions and measurements. At the risk of confusion, I...
Could you start by defining HPI? Pick one out of the many available. Thanks. ____________________________________________ Patrick H. McCabe, PE Risk,...
How about: Rework=The cumulative resources used in a task over and above those necessary to do each step right the first time in the best sequence. ...
Human Performance Improvement The application of principles and techniques designed to reduce Human Errors and their consequences. To encourage correct choices...
Shucks, I thought HPI stood for the "Hydrocarbon Processing Industry". ________________________________ From: Root_Cause_State_of_the_Practice@yahoogroups.com ...
And I thought it might be that new (old) form of employee motivation called "High Pressure Injection." ____________________________________________ Patrick H....
Okay, I apologize for shifting gears away from the COI talk, but I watched a special last night (on PBS) about the "McWane Story" and couldn't believe my eyes....
"High Pressure Injection." would be one of the Latent Org Weaknesses, so, you are not far off. Could also be "Highly Probable Injury" or even "Hokey Pokey...
Thanks. My mother used to counsel me that one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar. Maybe we should make Bill Salot the Official Mentor for the...
The investigation of this one will not be pretty. At least one of the causal factors of this one is common to the reactor vessel head degradation. What are...
