Overview

"If you have a brain, you’re biased”.

Research shows that we cannot avoid being biased, it is hard-wired into the human operating system. The solution is to be aware of it, and put in place mitigating strategies. During this webinar, speaker and neuroscience expert Tom Flatau will explore the different types of cognitive bias such as 'similarity bias', 'temporal discounting', 'loss aversion' and 'groupthink', as well as equipping you with tools and techniques to overcome them.
