Students, Please view and comment on this link of the day - yes, for your education, but also for the points, of course! Watch the video below: TITLE - The 5 WhysThen, post a comment in reply to this discussion thread. Again, what to post? Here are some ideas: + What did you take away from the video? + How does the video relate in some way to your past experience (work, as a consumer, family, school, etc.)? + How might you use these ideas in your own career? Good luck! David

INSTANT MBA: The five whys I like the video and agree with what he said. Five whys are very important. I have seen many organisation who spend many days loading new employees with new stuff. After training three quarter of what they learn in training have been forgotten. I Like the idea of investing small proportion at a time!Practically learning is the most effective way of learning it give the employees time to obsorb what they have learned. it also gives management a chance to evaluate employee performance and if they have fully understand what was taught.

I have heard of many different variations of Toyota's version of the five whys. One version that I particularly like is commonly caused root cause analysis. It is just an expansion of the five whys and just doesn't stop at five and continues to ask why and why and why until there is no other thing to ask, so you can truly get to the why that caused the problem.

Well I ask my girlfriend the five whys and get the same answer so I guess that doesn't work for relationships but in a business this can be quite effective. When I was cutting grass with my cousin one, I kept asking him why about 5 times and finally I got the answer of what was going on with why we were losing money. He came and told me that he was stealing some of the money so I fired him.

The 5 Whys
These why questions are absolutely accurate. They are the building blocks for evaluation of an incident. If every leader utilizes this type of training then they organization in which they are members will be productive. This video was very helpful and insightful.

The 5 whys.
Training and information overload go hand in hand. There are ways to be effective in training employees and there are ways to be ineffective in training employees. I think this was a great video on how companies should try to train employees. I feel as though the five whys is a useful tool in training that more companies should think about using. I know when I went through all my training for my new job, it was a mess. Most of everything they were trying to train me on got lost along the way. If they would have taken small sessions throughout the learning it may have been alot better approach.

The 5 Whys
This is a very interesting way to look at how to solve problems at work. By asking 'Why' five times each time a problem arises, one can go past the technical difficulty and find the root cause of the problem, which will usually uncover a problem with management or training. Designing training sessions around these five Whys, one for each hour or so of training (proportional to its need) will to ensure every Why question is answered adequately through good employee and manager training.

I like this video because it lays out a very easy way to check mistakes and see why they happened. I didn't realize how much you could actually learn about a situation just by asking the same question over and over again. It seems like it would work too. Using this, I'll call it a tool, tool to problem solve is actually very smart and so basic that I'm surprised I didn't hear this sooner, a child literally asks this about everything when younger so why do we stop when we grow older. I say question everything and not just with negative instances, to understand why an idea worked, why not ask the same questions? This will allow for people to repeat these steps much easier, and ultimately become more successful.

INSTANT MBA: The five whys
Five whys are very important. I have seen many organisation who spend many days loading new employees with new stuff. After training three quarter of what they learn in training have been forgotten. Practically learning is the most effective way of learning it give the employees time to obsorb what they have learned. it also gives management a chance to evaluate employee performance and if they have fully understand what was taught.

INSTANT MBA: The five whys
This is a great informational video. Asking the five why's will help you find problems that otherwise would have not be found. I believe the video is correct by saying that behind every technical problem there is a human problem to be found. Everything is managed by humans, and humans are the ones that still make the decisions not computers. By asking the 5 why's you will get to the root of the problem and see what caused to fail. This same question will help you uncover any problem, because each time you ask the same question you are uncovering a new layer that will eventually lead to the root of the problem.

I really like the idea of the five whys. The five whys break it down and hold all levels accountable for problems. This allows companies to look at all levels of employs to be responsibly. If more companies asserted their business this way I believe that all levels of employees would become more careful in the work that they where preforming.

The five whys I liked this idea and can see how it could be productive for problem solving. By truly finding the root of the problem you are able to truly find a solution that could possibly clear up issues in the future as well instead of just putting a bandaid on the current issue.

TITLE - The 5 Whys
I like this video. I do not think I have ever thought to dig that deep on asking the question "why" five times. Finding a human problem behind any problem is key to being able to correct the situation. I will use this technique at my job when technical problems arise...and see what happens!
