What is the Kepner Tregoe Matrix?
The Kepner-Tregoe Matrix is an approach to conducting a Root Cause Analysis and decision-making method.
What are the Steps in the Kepner-Tregoe Matrix?
- Prepare a decision statement having both an action and a result component.
- Establish strategic requirements (Musts), operational objectives (Wants), and restraints (Limits)
- Rank objectives and assign relative weights.
- Generate alternatives.
- Assign a relative score for each alternative on an objective-by-objective basis.
- Calculate a weighted score for each alternative and identify the top two or three.
- List adverse consequences for each top alternative and evaluate probability (high, medium, low) and severity (high, medium, low).
- Make a final, single choice between top alternatives.
