5. Philosophical Challenges: TRUST Build it. Protect it. Deserve it.

6. Philosophical Challenges: COURAGE

7. Organization/Process:CONSISTENCY

8. Organization/Process: PLAN for SMS

9. Nuts and Bolts: DATA SHARING

10. Nuts and Bolts: HAVE The RIGHT TOOLS

11. Relational Aggregate Data Analysis

12. What Is It? A tool to identify binary causal chains for any event type in order to pinpoint specific cause and effect problems and facilitate risk mitigation. A B C D The undesirable state

13. How Does It Work? An analyst orders the elements of an event type, i.e. the threats and errors, in relational order. An analyst orders the elements of an event type, i.e. the threats and errors, in relational order. Each pairing in the causal chain is counted. Each pairing in the causal chain is counted. The causal chains of significant frequency are identified for risk mitigation. The causal chains of significant frequency are identified for risk mitigation. Break the Chain: Prevent the Occurrence

14. But Why? Why do this?

17. By the Numbers The were 147 causal chains identified. The were 147 causal chains identified. The most frequent causal chains (three or more occurrences) made up 58 percent of the linkages. The most frequent causal chains (three or more occurrences) made up 58 percent of the linkages. The top four causal chains led to 42 percent of the occurrences. The top four causal chains led to 42 percent of the occurrences. Key Point: Target elimination of the top four binary chains, and you reduce occurrences by 42%! Proprietary information.
