The problem-solving process begins by defining the problem. To cement the role and scope of the Center for Ambitious Failure (CAF) as a research center aiming to bring changes to the culture of KAIST, we decided that a good way to get started is to explore the shared perceptions of KAISTians regarding what is considered as a failure and the frame through which failure is viewed. For this reason, CAF conducted a survey titled “What Does Failure Mean to You?” with all members of KAIST. This survey was conducted on December 8th~21st, 2021, and we received responses from a total of 735 members (185 undergraduate students, 386 graduate students, 55 faculty members, 103 employees, and 6 other members).In addition to sharing their thoughts on failure, many respondents sent their opinions regarding the role of CAF. This report provides an overall analysis of the submitted responses.
