Why do people and organizations not perform to standard or not comply with policies

NON-COMPLIANCE DON’T KNOW CAN’T COMPLYWON’T COMPLY NEVER KNEW FORGOT TASK IMPLIED FEW RESOURCES DON’T KNOW HOW IMPOSSIBLE NO REWARD NO PENALTY DISAGREE Root Cause Analysis Systemic Solutions

DON’T KNOW - WHY NOT? Never knew may be systemic problem getting guidance down to user level. Forgot usually a local/personal problem; Task implied could be lack of experience or specific guidance.

CAN’T COMPLY - WHY NOT? Scarce resources/ low priority -- look at the big picture. Don’t know how lack of training Impossible determine if the task is even do-able

WON’T COMPLY - WHY NOT? No reward look for incentives No penalty nobody cares Disagree seek exception to policy; Try to change the rules.

Root Cause Analysis as a Flow Chart COMPLIANCE? (MEET STD?) START YES GOOD NEWS! (SPREAD IT AROUND!) NO KNOW ABOUT REQ & STD? NO ROOT CAUSE MAY BE; NEVER KNEW IMPLIED TASK FORGOT YES SUFFICIENT RESOURCES? NO WHICH RESOURCE LACKING; TIME?MANPOWER? MONEY?EQUIPMENT? FACILITIES?KNOWLEDGE? YES THEN THEY CHOSE NOT TO COMPLY WHAT ARE REWARDS FOR MTG STD? WHAT ARE PENALTIES FOR NOT MTG STD? WHY DID THEY CHOOSE NOT TO COMPLY?
