Mission Statement:
Backpacker Jack strives to be the best in the analysis of significant events to provide an understanding of Lessons Learned and for what actions can be taken to reduce the risk of recurrence to acceptable levels. We act to understand events that have had a significant impact on the safety of individuals or finances of an organization through a rigorous analysis to identify Lessons Learned and actions that are effective in addressing the causes of the event. We believe that weaknesses in an organization and potential event initiators can be identified using the same tools and techniques for a Root Cause investigation. Lessons Learned are identified and may be implemented to improve processes and to reduce the potential for the repeat of an unwanted event. Our training provides a powerful toolbox for an organization to perform their own analysis of events.
