In my work as an analyst there is an ongoing debate about multi factor analysis vs reductionism analysis. Until recently I worked on national wide projects helping workplace health and safety. When a fatality occurs they reverse engineer the caustation factors to ensure we all learn from it and no one else has to die in the same way. As a best practice it is frowned upon academically in this field to land on one factor for the accident and instead for the accident investigation to yield a comprehensive report that describes usually 4 to 10 different intermingling factors. The advantage of this style of analysis is that it is more accurate, comprehensive, and reflects the complexities of accident dynamics better.
In other business settings which are typically internal to a company and as such the dynamics are conducted in a repeatable environment with more constants single factor analysis is better. It leads to a focused actionable remedy list that can be executed the following day. Whereas if you have 4 to 8 reasons the action steps will require prioritisation and possibly escalation to governance group with an options paper.
The warriors are in a repeatable environment where each NRL game has the same dynamics and same environment and as such single factor analysis is best.
I applied my mind after a number of losses last year and consistently found in 3 or 4 key games that
Kodi was the key single reason all things considered why we lost.
I saw him have a hand in at least three tries on Saturday and he even looked quite slick in his involvement. I am too biased against him to recommend him for any position in our 17 this year in any game. But I am not so biased to concede that he played well on Saturday.
As I have said a
coupe of times he could be as good as jahrome hughes if he reached his cieling. He just needs to drink a cup of self belief. All that said my single factor analysis says he was the root cause of our poor season last year and we will have another poor season if he plays even one game.
