The Association for GXP Excellence (AGXPE) will host the 90-minute interactive webinar led by Sam Sather and Keith Dorricott, founders of DIGR-ACT®. This session will address the challenges in using root cause analysis (RCA) to lead to effective risk assessment and Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) for GXP.

Training on RCA does not usually happen, so many do not know how to carry out a proper RCA. Yet, it is an important step in understanding what happened so the issue(s) can be prevented from recurring. In this webinar, you will learn about a practical approach to RCA that shows results while encouraging critical thinking for GXP professionals.

These sessions introduce the GXP audience to DIGR-ACT® as a solution to mature teams and processes in the era of big change. Attendance at this or another session (live or recorded) is required before attending the Train-the-Trainer workshop scheduled for February 15 & 22.

Refer to the February Train-the-Trainer sessions HERE for more information and to sign-up; space is LIMITED.

Session Objectives:

  • Describe how critical thinking is needed and implemented for managing risks and issues that matter.

  • Recognize the limitations of current approaches to risk and issue management, and what is needed to support the maturity of the organizations’ teams.

  • Learn the components of a new approach that supports critical thinking to focus on Critical to Quality Factors.
