Blindsided: Uncovering, Understanding and Managing Bias
Our first goal will be to explore the nature and types of biases
that affect behaviors and decision making at both individual and
group levels. By understanding the biological limitations in our
mental processing capabilities and how our brains attempt to
compensate, we can better recognize the mechanics of faulty
decisions and interaction styles. This then sets the stage for pursuing our second goal, which is to develop strategies to help
minimize the potentially negative impact of bias on us both individually and as organizations.
