25.06.05: Wear the Detective Cap (Every Thursday)
A Night of Curiosity, Clues, and Critical Thinking with Root Cause Analysis
A. THE SUMMARY
In this insightful edition of Story A Night, the session shifted to logical dissection, as participants explored the skill of Root Cause Analysis through storytelling. The facilitators led the group from surface-level problems to underlying causes, challenging participants to go beyond assumptions and build a mindset for curious inquiry.
Key Elements of the Session:
Concept Introduced: The idea that every problem has deeper layers. Just like in the “5 Whys” method, students were guided to keep questioning until they arrived at the true cause of a challenge.
Case Setup: Students were presented with a storytelling puzzle: “The student failed the test,” and were encouraged to trace the chain of events backward through dialogue and logic.
Framework Used: The facilitator gently prompted them with scaffolding like:
"Why did the student fail?"
"What happened before that?"
"And why did that happen?"
B. THE EVALUATION
1. Overall Performance
SRI and Anguma showcased strong critical thinking and persistence—valuable assets for logical deconstruction.
Komang, Ratna, and Ary blended emotional and narrative approaches, offering rich insight but needing clearer sequencing.
Omitha and Desy were cooperative but held back from fully expressing original thinking.
Rivana, Intan.. need structured nudges to enter and sustain participation.
A promising sign of rising leadership emerged from Tina, who had previously been shy and hesitant to take on leading roles. When given the opportunity to lead a team, she quickly stepped up—opening the whiteboard, initiating collaboration, and actively drawing out ideas from her peers. It was an impressive and confident performance that marked a clear shift in her engagement.
Ary and Omitha were paired with Rany and Aliya and assigned leadership roles in their breakout group. While Ary and Omitha demonstrated a solid understanding of the task, they fell short in actively guiding the discussion and clearly explaining the steps to their teammates. As a result, both Rany and Aliya struggled to follow along and were unable to contribute meaningfully. This represented a significant missed opportunity for Ary and Omitha to step up as leaders. Additionally, JFP, who was present as a facilitator in the room, did not step in to bridge the communication gap—highlighting a lapse in support and group management. This group collectively missed the mark in fostering collaboration and ensuring teamwork.

C. HOMEWORK
Students will continue practicing Root Cause Analysis within their teams, focusing on real challenges that students commonly face. Each situation will require them to dig deeper, asking “why” at multiple levels to uncover the underlying causes—not just the surface symptoms.
There was encouraging progress during this session, with several teams beginning to move beyond obvious answers and explore more thoughtful, layered reasoning.

In this session, I can say that it really caught my attention. Here, JFP asked and listened to each member's opinion about our discipline. I was chosen as a leader, when I was in the room and the session started some of my members didn't understand and only I and Omitha answered.From here I know that I failed to be a good leader, because I didn't coordinate the team and didn't explain.Teamwork is the most important thing. In the future, I will learn to be a good leader for my members.
This program does teach us how to work together and become a leader. But before the leader acts, the leader must be able to control himself and learn himself well. so that when leading and managing other members it will certainly be good and orderly As not just anyone can become president. As it should be, If the president does not study about what he has to study as a figure of state leader, then of course he is not president.
This vast world, but still can recognize the character. Through the Events on Thursday in this Article, I feel not right and successful on this Thursday. I still need time to manage, or digest the information well and say well from what I have heard, that's where I want to think well so that I said regularly and well. But apart from that, my interpretation here is that I was taught how to think quickly, I do feel lacking in my abilities, but from here the results will come.emerge and bloom with Alone. Because the flowers that have not been able to bloom are not forever as long as there is good effort, discipline, and hard work. So that the flowers can bloom well and perfectly.
