This is a good start! Share more about how you assess the situation before moving on to the rest of your answer. Do you ask probing questions or ask others for insight into what happened? This is also best answered by sharing an example of a time when you assessed a problem, worked to resolve it, achieved a positive outcome, and then addressed the root cause to prevent the issue from recurring.
