Paul’s plan of action entailed addressing all the causes that resulted in the failed meetings.  With his new knowledge, he was able to quickly change the direction of the failing project.  The efficiency with which his meetings were conducted enabled the group to develop a website in record time that became a model for others to use throughout the company. Now you know how to create a cause and effect diagram to increase efficiency and effectiveness by clearly defining your problem and identifying it’s causes.

Now that you’re equipped with this great meetings tool, you’ll be able to take a close look at the effect you want, through identifying the causes that create the effect.  With your causes in hand, you’ll be able to make the changes necessary for your success, and there’s nothing like the feel of success!

Good luck!
