Fehlerkultur
Sharing stories of healthy handling of errors and mistakes in research and development
In the German tradition, fehlerkultur is a critical component to the success of a
company or a complex endeavor. A healthy error culture embraces the fact that
errors and mistakes are a natural part of the path to success in research and
development and should be openly discussed for the efficient solving of project
challenges. An unhealthy fehlerkultur leads to fear or shame around errors and
mistakes that can cause researchers to hide their mistakes and prolong their
impact on the project or product. The Fehlerkultur session at IEEE Inertial seeks to
encourage a health culture within our community around errors and mistakes
through the open sharing of informative and even entertaining stories of mistakes,
how the individual/team dealt with the issue (example of what to do, or even what
not to do), and what was learned from it. This will be an informal session with an
opportunity at the end for open discussion of best fehlerkultur practices or stories
inspired by the presentations.
