Know The 5 Whys System?

How many problems are you going to solve today? Is the difference between the CEO and the Intern the ability to dig out the root-causes of problems?

In the 1970s the Toyota Company began using the Five-Whys- Solution System. It suggested a five-level feedback strategy.

The heart of the system is asking Why? What? caused the problem we face right now.

Benefits:

a) 5-Whys helps identify the ultimate root-cause of a problem through a feed-back analysis. It can be a personal method of a group effort.

b) It leads to the discovery of relationships between cause-and-effect.

c) You can learn the system in five-minutes and be a master in ten. It works without statistics or mathematical formulas.

d) The system asks why did this occur? Why did that occur? Our objective is to get to the fundamental cause, and one out of your control. All it asks is Why? What are the moving factors?

Example

#1 Why: Why did we lose the Apple account?

Answer: We did not deliver the software on the contracted date.

#2 Why: Why did we miss the date we promised?

Answer: We could not solve the modeling problem on artificial intelligence.

#3 Why: Why could we not solve the AI problem?

Answer: We did not put enough of our best experts on the job.

#4. Why: Why did we not allocate enough top people?

Answer: We were over extended with other contracts and had too few experts.

#5. Why: Why did the team leader or the division-v.p. not discover the cause

in time? Answer: We must review our administrative procedures and create a new system reporting to the assistant to the CEO.

Endwords

The goal of the Five-Whys is to look at the End-Result and ask for feed-back to discover the root-causes of the fundamental problem.

Three Mental Processes in Reading

Do you think younger kids or educated adults find Speed Reading easier to learn?

Kids seem to have less stream-of-consciousness going on to distract them. Adults are more conscious of their environment and lose their concentration (sustained-focus), more easily.

Relevance and Priority

a) Thought and analysis requires left-brain dominance. b) Gathering Data (information) requires right-brain dominance using pattern-recognition and spatial-skills. c) Creating long-term memory.

The brain is the ultimate information-processing structure, but it seems to break down when asked to multitask while reading.

You can think, analyze, plan, and organize to your hearts delight, using up to 90% left-brain dominance without cognitive-dissonance. When you attempt to simultaneously gather-data (right-brain dominance), while analyzing, you create entropy disorder and chaos.

The result is loss of comprehension.

You must choose between a), b) or c), but not combine the systems.

Yes, there is a percentage of thought and analysis when Speed Readers gather-data from text, but there is a right-brain dominance of up to 65%, and 35% left-brain skills. Snailers read with 65% left-brain dominance, and only 35% right-brain skills.

When students are learning Speed Reading, adults are particularly frustrated because they habitually combine a), b), and c), and cause themselves cognitive-dissonance a mental earthquake and intellectual conflict.

Secret

First, learn the speed reading Eye-Movement-Patterns, second, learn the specific reading strategies Z, Double and Triple Chunking. The secret is the discovery of Soft-Focus and Peripheral-Vision while using your Pacer to underline the sentences.

The Pacer makes use of a human instinct that enables Speed Reading; our eyes are motion-detectors, and eyes follow a moving-object (the Pacer). Our Pacer hand naturally move up to 3x faster than our ordinary (snailing), reading rate of speed.

Third, once you have mastered the psychomotor skills of speed reading, your comprehension returns at up to a 10 % higher level.

Endgame

We have interviewed thousands of students, graduate scholars, and executives, who suffer from cognitive-dissonance in trying to combine a), b), and c).

Their reading speed slows to a crawl, while their comprehension is reduced up to 35%. Testing their memory indicates a loss of long-term retrieval of up to 48%.

The solution is isolating the specific brain function to only one of the three. Focus your entire attention on gathering-data, or use your intention for Thinking and Analysis, or ignore the two aforementioned, and focus your talents on memory.

See ya,
