Solve More Problems with Red X®

Date: Wed, May 13 2026
Time : 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT (North America)
Format: Virtual
Presenter: Matthew Peterson

Every costly problem has a root cause — but too often, teams spend months chasing the wrong one, tying up time, resources, and budget with little to show for it.

The Shainin Red X® methodology is a proven problem-solving framework that helps organizations focus their efforts, uncover the true root cause faster, reduce waste, and protect valuable resources.

In this free webinar, you’ll learn why leading companies across industries include Red X training in their improvement budgets — and how this focused approach consistently delivers measurable ROI within the year, not just long-term capability.
