Description:  

So let's start with the good news; if you are human, you have biases. 

They are the framework against which we make many of our decisions each day, from the mundane to the complex. But this is a double edged sword. Our cognitive biases can get us into a lot of trouble around the office (even if that office looks a lot like where you live right now) when we rely on them too much, or worse, allow them to run rampant through self-awareness (or lack thereof.) And that trouble often leads to poor decisions, which generally is bad for business. 

But there is hope. By understanding some of the common cognitive biases, and recognizing them in our colleagues (and ourselves), we can mitigate their effects.

In "Overcoming Bias for Decision Making", we'll explore some of the common cognitive biases which impact our work and lives, and learn strategies for overcoming (or at least mitigating) their impact.
