RealityCharting® Benefits

Improved Efficiency

  • The amount of time spent in incident investigations is greatly reduced when RealityCharting® is used to help facilitation and capture relevant information in a consistent manner.
  • RealityCharting® adheres to common software conventions, making it easier to learn and access the tools and functionality you need. Intuitive toolbars, menus, and other features enable you to master the fundamentals quickly, even if you are new to the Apollo problem solving method.

Supports Apollo RCA

  • RealityCharting® guides you through each step of the Apollo process enforcing it’s unique rules check to encourage a thorough and accurate analysis.
  • Use of the software following training reinforces what was learned and increases the rate of adoption and practice of the Apollo Method.

Provides Standardization

  • RealityCharting® provides standardization in your incident investigation process and allows you to ensure the Apollo method is being followed every time.
  • Institutional use of the Apollo problem solving method is readily accomplished with the integration of the software into the process infrastructure.

Communication

  • Sharing what you know about a problem with others is one of the most critical steps in problem solving because it creates a better understanding of the problem which leads to better solutions and buy-in from all stakeholders.
  • RealityCharting® provides numerous ways to share its information and makes multi-party collaboration possible. Users can make the most of brainstorming sessions with RealityCharting’s Synergize feature. It allows the users to capture all of the ideas immediately, in real time, and keep them organized as the group jumps from topic to topic. No more messy piles of non-sequitor notes or hours spent trying to make sense of the necessarily disorganized remarks. Using RealityCharting® in this manner provides the added benefit of allowing the team to review displayed data and further develop concepts to identify new areas of investigation.
  • RealityCharting® is a powerful visual tool providing you the ability to quickly generate an understanding of interrelated causes and graphically link them in an automatically constructed chart.

Performance

  • Over the years Apollo Root Cause Analysis has become a leading methodology for people who want to make important improvements in the way they and their organizations perform incident investigations and respond to the need to prevent problem recurrence. Now RealityCharting® provides you with a simple tool to guide the problem solving process and ensure the Apollo problem solving method is followed every time.
  • RealityCharting® is consistent with software conventions, making it easier to learn and access the tools and functionality you need. Intuitive toolbars, menus, and other features enable you to master the fundamentals of RealityCharting® quickly, even if you are new to the Apollo problem solving method.
  • RealityCharting® is essential for practicing Apollo RCA and implementing a solid Apollo RCA program. Its ability to graphically represent interrelated, evidence-based causal relationships makes it easy to develop a common reality with other team members. It significantly increases the quality of any problem analysis by providing guidance and structure that is absent in other charting software.
