Listen in to this episode as Peter Cronin talks with Scott Daggett, who works at a fortune 100 financial institution, about his experience doing the Black Belt in Thinking course and the wins he has been able to achieve by implementing what he has learnt into his workplace!
Scott has completed all three of the BBIT courses, so throughout the podcast Scott talks about how each course has given him a different set of tools to apply depending on the certain situation. He then goes on and expands on a number of tool implementations that he has spearheaded in his workplace and even personal life.
A great listen, and amazing to hear about the tools at work!

Listen in to this episode as Peter Cronin talks with Rodney Daut, a course creator himself, about his experience doing the Black Belt in Thinking course and what he got out of it!
Building courses and workshops as his job and side business, Rodney was able to apply the BBIT tools to conflicts or issues he was having throughout the 6 weeks the course ran. The exercises throughout the course enable participants to get wins and real life application of the tools from the get go.
Just as we have done to the BBIT course (applied the tools on decisions to do with the course), Rodney was able to apply the same tactic for his own courses and workshops. Which was a very interesting read for our instructors and great to see the outcomes and solutions he came up with.

We are starting a new series! The Application Series!
Throughout this series we will be talking to people who have taken the BBIT tools or skills and applied them to their own businesses or lives. We will explore the challenges they faced, the solutions they implemented and the outcomes they achieved. We really want to share these stories so that you can see the different ways that people are solving problems, helping others and get wins for everyone involved.
This week we talk to Sydney buyers agent Rhiannan Jenkins about how she uses the Prerequisite Tree (PRT) tool she learnt on the course to help first home buyers with the home buying process. "You don't know what you don't know", is a term that Rhiannan uses frequently throughout the episode, and the PRT is a great way at drawing out the obstacles and assumptions people have about the house buying process and giving them a plan on how to move forward no matter what their situation.
If you are interested in working with Rhiannan or finding out more about her process, you can find her on LinkedIn or Instagram, she would be more then happy to help!

This week Peter and Mirta discuss the Fishbone Method or Diagram.
Fishbone Method is the 5 Whys on steroids!
The method represents the problem as the head of the fish, with the many different possible causes of the problem as the spine of the fish.
Much like the 5 Whys, the Fishbone Method is very user-friendly: when a problem occurs, you identify the major categories of causes of the problem, list all the possible sub-causes, and then drill into each one by asking "Why does this happen?" to uncover deeper levels of causes.
Listen to this episode to find out the benefits, the drawbacks, and some tips and tricks about some ways that you can effectively use the Fishbone Method in your own problem-solving situations.

This week Peter and Mirta discuss the 5 Why’s thinking process!
Sakichi Toyoda, the Japanese industrialist, inventor, and founder of Toyota Industries, developed the 5 Whys technique in the 1930s and Toyota still uses it to solve problems today!
The Five Why’s is most effective when the answers come from people who have hands-on experience of the process or problem in question.
The method is remarkably simple: when a problem occurs, you drill down to its root cause by asking "Why?" five times. Then, when a counter-measure becomes apparent, you follow it through to prevent the issue from recurring.
Listen in to this episode to find out the benefits, the draw backs and some tips and tricks about some ways that you can use the 5 Why’s in your own problem solving situations.

The Power of One-Liners
This week Peter and Mirta discuss one-liners; simple phrases that encapsulate a more complex concept.
A lot of the time we may agree on a solution or a course of action, but the day-to-day grind gets in the way, and old habits kick in. Before soon, we end up doing things that end up compromising that agreement.
This is where one-liners come in. They are short and punchy phrases that are repeated and act as pattern interrupts in situations where someone is going against the agreed course of action.
For example, even if we all agree we will not re-schedule the jobs once the Sprint starts, someone inevitably has a job they want to squeeze in mid-Sprint. When this happens, a simple "shoving it in won't make it come out" can stop the behavior without the need for confrontational "telling off" or long-winded explanations as to why we shouldn't overload the developers.
Find out more about one-liners, and how you can use them in your professional and personal life to keep on track!

Is Fluency better than knowledge?
We learn a lot of things at school, but we often forget a lot of this information/learnings because we don't use them. How often have you had to use long division in your adult life?
When people have to deliver or provide and answer and they don't have the muscle memory/fluency, they they start guessing. Then often the person on the receiving end takes the result as true, as they don't have the fluency either.
So how do we build the fluency in the skills we want to get better at?
Tune in to this episode to find out how to build your own fluency or the fluency of your team!

On this episode Peter and Mirta discuss Behavior Forcing or Poka-yoke (Mistake Proofing), which is the use of any automatic device or method that either makes it impossible for an error to occur or makes the error immediately obvious once it has occurred.
So in a system where a mistake is happening time and time again, we introduce a forcing function which prevents people making that mistake. For example, the noise your makes in your car when you forget to put your seatbelt on. Obviously you can continue to drive the car with the noise, however the annoying dinging noise is there to help shape the behavior.
