RCA: The Sensei Blueprint

The complete root cause process I learned from Japanese Sensei — at the speed of AI.

 ✔ Define the real problem — not the loudest symptom everyone's reacting to.

✔ Isolate the direct causes — before you ever chase a root cause. The step most investigations skip.

✔ Get to the actual root cause — the systems and standards that allowed the problem to exist.

✔ Sustain the corrective actions — so the problem becomes physically impossible to recur.

✔ Close the investigation formally — present updates that earn leadership buy-in and land across the organization.

✔ Use AI the right way — to pressure-test your thinking, not to think for you.

Sounds simple? Inside each of these are key steps that must be followed in a specific, sequential order to get results. That sequence is what I was taught by Japanese Sensei over more than a decade — and it's exactly what I'll teach you inside the course.

I learned this where it was invented — not from a book.

I'm Chad Burroughs. For over a decade I trained directly under Japanese Sensei, while working in Japanese Automotive, including multiple trips to Japan - learning this methodology at its source — from the people who built it. They didn't accept surface-level answers. No shortcuts.  Just the problem, the process, and the standard expected of you.

Since then, I've spent nearly thirty years applying the exact same methods — building transformational problem solving cultures in some of the most demanding manufacturing environments in the world. Now I'm putting all of it into one course. Get on the list, and you'll be the first to see it.

The RCA Field Guide — a one-page framework with the three principles Sensei taught me for reaching a real root cause. Print it. Pin it to your wall. Use it Monday.

Two free lessons — on the single most important part of the whole methodology: how to define a problem before you try to solve it. It's where nearly every investigation goes wrong, right at the start.
