Of course you can go deeper and ask why was this process not done correctly etc but at the end of the day, it’s about actionable changes that ensure mistakes don’t get repeated.
Unless you just call everything a process: "His childhood was difficult and that's why he fouls people. Let's call his childhood a process."
I think at some point you have to say that some things are not processes, or cannot usefully described as such. Or they devolve into Zeno's paradox.
Well... attempting to prevent stuff like bullying or domestic violence is a worthwhile goal in itself.
For the example of the soccer player, one might also question other incentives (e.g. bonuses tied to winning games no-matter-what), or why a player with a known history was hired in the first place.
Obviously a worthwhile goal, but not a process failure on the part of the football team.
I hope we aren't using football as an analogy for avionic engineering with 1000's of people.
The process that hasn't cut you from the football team.
I mean in theory, you're absolutely right but so rarely does it ever actually shake out that way. It seems like corporations continue to make the same mistakes while simultaneously being held less and less accountable.
Literally hundreds of people have died due to Boeing's negligence recently and the prevailing opinion seems to be that no one is ultimately going to be held accountable. (at least not meaningfully)
Ideals are great and all but if it results in zero accountability when hundreds of people die, maybe its time for us to re-evaluate.
