What Does "Good" Look Like - Part 1

Identifying Human Error Likely Situations - What Does "Good" Look Like? - Episode 1

Since 2008, Procedure Solutions Management, LLC, has taught over 9,000 (correction over 10,000) students on a variety of procedure-related topics. When we teach our classes there are 5 main principles that we want to convey:

1. Level of Detail - What to do, OR how to do it.
2. Identify Common Error Likely Situations - What does "Good" look like?
3. General Technical Writing Guidelines - Writing Fundamentals
4. Organizing and Sequencing of Steps
5. Utilizing Templates or Human-Factored Writing Tools

This is part 1 of a 4-part "What Does "Good" Look Like" series that will focus on the second principle, Identifying (and Eliminating) Human Error Likely Situations. It will cover the following:

• Identify in-field decisions without clear guidance
• Excessiveness of in-field decisions
• Steps that are vague or missing critical detail
• Excessive Administrative and Technical Detail

We had fun putting these videos together and hope you will enjoy them. Please remember that this is only a very small part of a comprehensive training curriculum that was designed to help eliminate human performance challenges in procedures.
