I noticed that almost all books on Amazon 90% gets good reviews. The fact that even in this book you can almost all 4 a.m. to 5 p.m. star, makes me question why the system is distorted. I am not a critical hyper-critical, as you can see my other reviews, but I found nothing useful in this book. I expected to get a useful insight, I have none. I found the book an anecdotal story after another, usually someone is saved with a checklist. Let me summarized for you. Each story goes something like this. Group A is a task and use a checklist. Group B, only one task and do not use a checklist. Group C and a task is not * * Use a checklist. And then the author tells anecdotally what a job group C is better because they have a checklist, usually no data that used to provide support for their revendications.Pour seeking advice on the best methods of implementation checklists, do not expect a *. * And can not be expected to represent not the author for obvious questions such as “maybe people / companies, checklists better not because the are by their nature, they disciplined and cut as many other processes.” In other words, according to the known Science does not work, correlation does not imply causality. Of course, I had expected much more from this book. In my area the use of checklists is widespread, in fact it is quite common in any industry that is doing repetitive tasks, including the construction industry for example. So when I saw this book, I assumed it was * something else than just stories were about the use of checklists, are those of us who like to give you an overview of the Live checklists. It does not. If you know how to write a list of 10 points, you’re ready to go, no need to buy this book if you only have a few stories, anecdotes, want to read the path of a checklist saved the day. Rating: 1 / 5
In essence, the book is a collection of anecdotes with the findings of need, in each case to a human failure. For each story, the author argues that if a checklist prepared and reviewed the checklist that human error, in particular, would the world be a better place to be. Superficially, this call to us, perhaps because we like to “what-if” scenarios to stay: “If the surgeon had … a life was saved.” The error is that the list would Humongous because it resolved many potential errors of others, and that an inordinately long time, would take far to go through, for example, by a surgeon before opération.Dans an introduction, a person almost dies because the anesthesiologist, a dose of potassium to a hundred times higher than expected. This resulted in asystole. What kind of simple checklist could this situation be avoided? Would it be useful for all spending in the operating room to time on this checklist before every surgery? There are probably hundreds of errors can be an anesthesiologist, and there are probably hundreds of reasons asystolie.Listes easy control of frequently used as assumptions if they did not author as such. For example, in my work, software, project management of our time are allowed, essentially checklists. When I walk, the guide contains a list of dos and don’ts, and make a list of security products. These are the lists. When you enter a new project, I noticed the important steps. When I do a similar project again, I use this list as the ball, I repeat any mistakes, and to perform tasks more rapidement.mise Update (6 March 2010): The book does not give a clear example of a single checklist, But there are many stories to mention that the results of the checklist has greatly improved, or a proposal for the use of painful checklist. The author was able to show checklists prototypes, at least for stories in which bénéficié.En checklists also allegedly Much of the book focuses on the interpersonal communication that makes the title misleading.
