The BlueDragon IPS (Integrated Problem-solving System) is a leading edge, universal toolbox for root cause analysis, accident investigations and enterprise risk management assessments.
BlueDragon was developed between 2015 to 2020 in response to the complexities of modern technologically sophisticated environments.
This system integrates established methodologies with innovative principles of critical thinking and systems theory. These two approaches must be integrated if complicated issues are to be adequately addressed.
BlueDragon has a structured three-phase process: firstly, it compiles, organizes and reviews information, evidence and data to form investigative questions; secondly, it performs comprehensive cause-and-effect analyses that trace back fundamental causes as well as contributing factors; thirdly, it creates strong corrective actions that prevent future recurrence.
Moreover, BlueDragon introduces some ground-breaking practices which improve the efficiency and effectiveness within the problem solving field. For example, it utilizes small teams of facilitators guiding different internal and external experts through this analysis.
From the very beginning of the inquiry process BlueDragon provides storyboards which capture all relevant evidence and analyses. The validation is done in real time hence this process is transparent.
This new approach eliminates standard interviews along with tedious work assessing notes required for carrying out the analysis more efficiently.
Key Benefits of BlueDragon IPS Include:
Speed and Precision: By blending conventional tools with some innovations in technologies, BlueDragon can complete an analysis within weeks instead of months. Its holistic systems-based approach ensures that results produced are fair enough to stand up in legal settings.
Improved Critical Thinking: It gathers data accurately thus developing unbiased fact based investigation questions.
Systems Theory Application: The holistic methodology takes problems from many angles with consideration given to technological-human interplays.
Advanced Causal Analysis: This goes beyond mere causal factors as seen when using ordinary approach since BlueDragon applies sophisticated methods to identify deeply rooted causes.
Integrated Behavioral Analysis: The system focuses on risky behaviors or error prone situations by scrutinizing human interactions within different environments.
Proactive Applications: It further provides an organization with a way to protect its systems from failures through proactive evaluation of safeguards against the current performance level by BlueDragon.
Enhanced Corrective Actions: Design elements like hazard control hierarchies and Lean mistake-proofing within the system can significantly reduce the likelihood of recurring issues.
Focus on Continuous Improvement: Consequently, organizations have embraced this approach as a means of building critical thinking and reasoning abilities that encourage continuous improvement.
Nuclear Reactor Incident: Scram due to low steam levels scrutinized; took four weeks for in-depth review while lauded for efficiency.
Cybersecurity Breaches: Focused on persistent unauthorized data leaks at a secure facility; spotted deep flaws in the organization within four weeks.
Workplace Electrical Accident: Resolved an electrical shock incident in four days, highlighting issues like inadequate subcontractor controls.
Equipment Failures: Addressed repeated failures of key air system motors at one Army site; solved within two weeks.
DOE Budget Overrun: Investigated project overruns resulting into $200 million more than budgeted hence leading to completion times of six weeks instead of months.
Procurement Program Issues: Evaluated a failing procurement program, aiding in securing a multibillion-dollar contract in just two weeks.
Through its advanced practices, BlueDragon not only replaces outdated methods but also enables organizations reach unprecedented levels of performance, safety and readiness.
Industries and government entities reliant on maintaining high safety and quality standards turn to BlueDragon for dependable, effective solutions to complex challenges.
