Frameworks: Intro to Root Cause Analysis

About the Course

Solve Problems at the Source — Not Just the Surface
Moneyling’s Intro to Root Cause Analysis course equips students and young professionals with the critical thinking tools to uncover why problems happen — and how to fix them for good. Instead of treating symptoms, learners apply structured analytical frameworks like The 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram (Ishikawa), and Pareto Analysis to identify true underlying causes and design sustainable solutions.

Through interactive lessons and real-world examples, students learn to approach challenges in school, work, and everyday life with logic, precision, and creativity. From identifying inefficiencies in a group project to improving workflow in a small business, participants develop a proactive mindset rooted in problem-solving and continuous improvement.

Why Schools Choose This Course:

  • Perfect for grades 9–12 and introductory college or career-readiness programs
  • Builds analytical reasoning, accountability, and teamwork
  • Complements decision-making and SMART goal-setting frameworks
  • Encourages innovation through evidence-based solutions

Empower your students to think deeper and solve smarter.
Moneyling’s Root Cause Analysis course helps them turn challenges into opportunities for growth.
