How might our performance be sub-optimal?

Definitions and distinctions:

Error: Actions do not go as planned

Mistake: Actions go as planned but plan is flawed

Violations: Intentional deviation from approved path

Note: We will use the generic term “error” to cover these three

categories for most of the rest of this presentation.
