the Space Shuttle Columbia was destroyed and the lives of all seven of its crew were lost
On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia was destroyed and the lives of all seven of its crew were lost. Within 2 hours of the loss of signal from the Columbia, a commission was formed to investigate, thanks to procedures that had been established following the Challenger disaster 17 years prior. That commission, known as the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB), conducted an extensive process of diagnosis of the causes of the Columbia disaster.

The results of an organizational diagnosis are generally shared during the “feedback” phase of the action research cycle. This typically occurs first during a live session with senior leaders, and may be followed by a formal report and information sessions with other organizational stakeholders. In government organizations, such formal reports are often made public.

The CAIB report is an excellent example of the results of a complex, whole system diagnosis.
