When something goes wrong at work, the first question is often who caused it. It feels fast, decisive and accountable, but it rarely leads to real improvement. Blame creates closure, not clarity. The problem appears solved, yet the same issue quietly returns. 

A more effective approach shifts the focus away from individuals and towards the system itself. What allowed this to happen? What conditions made the error possible? That change in thinking transforms everything. Teams become more open, problems surface earlier and learning accelerates. This is where operational excellence actually begins. Not by fixing people, but by improving the environment they operate in. Get the system right, and performance follows naturally.
