Checklists
+ Team Collaboration
= Excellent Results
Jeff Tanner, Engineer @ TUNE
Take Away:
Tools to help success minded
Experts better:
1)agreed to work as a team with a
single mindset goal...
2)to jointly and fully verify
well prepared checklists to
assure success
Introduction
Many have reviewed
“Checklist Manifesto”
Praising checklists.
How they help Experts.
However almost none take away from
the book…
1)Creating Good Checklist is Hard.
2)Good Checklists only work if Used.
3)Using Checklists well requires
joint collaboration with a Team.

Why have Checklists?
Man is fallible,
but maybe men
are less so.
Atul Gawande
We are flawed
decision-makers
with unreliable
memories
Because we are
flawed
Checklists seem
able to defend
anyone even the
experienced
against failure.

Ingeniously Simple Approach: Checklist
When the world was simple,
There were those who were
masters of their trade and
they were the overlord
over their subordinates.
Then the world got more
complex.
Major Ployer P. Hill
Boeing Model 299 “Flying Fortress”
October 30, 1935
Checkless are our defence because they
catch mental flaws inherent in all of us:
● Memory
● Attention
● Thoroughness
Creating a Good Checklist
Daniel Boorman,
Checklist Engineer
Reasons for Failure
● Ignorance (Did not know or Know
Partially)
● Ineptitude (Know but fail to apply)
● Miscommunication
● Missed Communication
Types of Checklists
DO-CONFIRM
● Allows more freedom to complete tasks or checks
from memory before consulting the list.
● Once the tasks are completed, a pause point
occurs.
● Checklist can be consulted to confirm that no tasks
have been overlooked.
Types of Checklists
READ-DO
● Works a bit like a recipe.
● Reading each item on the list, then Complete it
before moving on.
Bad checklists are:
● vague and imprecise
● too long
● hard to use
● impractical
● treat people as dumb
● spell out every single step
● turns brains off
Daniel Boorman
Good checklists are:
● reminders of only the most
critical and important steps
● makes priorities clear
● easy to use even in the most
difficult situations
● efficient, 60 to 90 seconds to
complete
● do not try to spell out
everything

Checklist throughout the building

Aviation Checklist
pre-flight
before takeoff
before landing
shutdown
Despite hundreds of flights and
thousands of hours of training a
veteran pilot still consults a checklist
before making any major decision
Aviation Checklist: "Miracle on the Hudson"
2009
Crew saved Lives
Decision to Use Engine
Dual Failure Checklist
It is the builders and the pilots discipline
to consult checklists no matter how
familiar they are with their jobs is what
makes them responsible professionals.
After 3 months of using
checklists:
Major complications
dropped 36%
Deaths dropped 47%
Surgery does not begin or goes onto the
next step until the nurse goes through the
checklist until all items are validated.
“Verify that the correct
patient is on the table”
● Training
● Experience
● Intelligence
Doctors started to see the
benefits and the disasters it
prevented, they embraced
checklists.
Despite:
● Checklists are not just recipes
● They are reminders
● For teams to prepare for the
unexpected
We don’t like checklists. They can
be painstaking. They’re not much
fun.
The truly great are daring. They
improvise. They do not have
protocols and checklists. Maybe our
idea of heroism needs updating.

Checklists + Team Collaboration = Excellent Results

Editor's Notes

  1. On October 30, 1935, at Wright Air Field in Dayton, Ohio, the U.S. Army Air Corps held a flight competition for airplane manufacturers vying to build the military’s next-generation long-range bomber. It wasn’t supposed to be much of a competition. In early evaluations, the Boeing Corporation’s gleaming aluminum-alloy Model 299 had trounced the designs of Martin and Douglas. Boeing’s plane could carry five times as many bombs as the army had requested; it could fly faster than previous bombers and almost twice as far. A Seattle newspaperman who had glimpsed the plane on a test flight over his city called it the “flying fortress,” and the name stuck. The flight “competition,” according to the military historian Phillip Meilinger, was regarded as a mere formality. The army planned to order at least sixty-five of the aircraft. A small crowd of army brass and manufacturing executives watched as the Model 299 test plane taxied onto the runway. It was sleek and impressive, with a 103-foot wingspan and four engines jutting out from the wings, rather than the usual two. The plane roared down the tarmac, lifted off smoothly, and climbed sharply to three hundred feet. Then it stalled, turned on one wing, and crashed in a fiery explosion. Two of the five crew members died, including the pilot, Major Ployer P. Hill.
  2. An investigation revealed that nothing mechanical had gone wrong. The crash had been due to “pilot error,” the report said. Substantially more complex than previous aircraft, the new plane required the pilot to attend to the four engines, each with its own oil-fuel mix, the retractable landing gear, the wing flaps, electric trim tabs that needed adjustment to maintain stability at different airspeeds, and constant-speed propellers whose pitch had to be regulated with hydraulic controls, among other features. While doing all this, Hill had forgotten to release a new locking mechanism on the elevator and rudder controls. The Boeing model was deemed, as a newspaper put it, “too much airplane for one man to fly.” The army air corps declared Douglas’s smaller design the winner. Boeing nearly went bankrupt.
  3. Still, the army purchased a few aircraft from Boeing as test planes, and some insiders remained convinced that the aircraft was flyable. So a group of test pilots got together and considered what to do. What they decided not to do was almost as interesting as what they actually did. They did not require Model 299 pilots to undergo longer training. It was hard to imagine having more experience and expertise than Major Hill, who had been the air corps’ chief of flight testing. Instead, they came up with an ingeniously simple approach: they created a pilot’s checklist. Its mere existence indicated how far aeronautics had advanced. In the early years of flight, getting an aircraft into the air might have been nerve-racking but it was hardly complex. Using a checklist for takeoff would no more have occurred to a pilot than to a driver backing a car out of the garage. But flying this new plane was too complicated to be left to the memory of any one person, however expert.
  4. From the ashes of 1935, four generations after the first aviation checklists went into use, a lesson is emerging. Checkless are our defence because they catch mental flaws inherent in all of us:
  5. A useful checklist has a clear pause point a particular point in time where you know to pause and complete the checklist before proceeding
  6. a useful checklist is speedy at each item of a checklist has to be less than 60 seconds to complete any longer and you'll resist doing it or you'll start ignoring it
  7. a useful checklist is a supplement to existing knowledge and expertise a checklist should not allow you to turn your brain off and execute a task like a robot each item should be a short and concise reminder a way of triggering a familiar routine
  8. A useful checklist is field tested and continually updated a checklist should be practical and based on actual experiences if it's not you won't trust it an ideal checklist is made up of past failures and lessons
