Navigating Bias in Critical Decision Making

Finance clings to failing projects, sales pushes for quick fixes that create technical debt, and IT overcommits to impossible timelines. Sound familiar? These aren't character flaws; they're predictable cognitive biases that derail good decision making.

In this interactive session, we'll explore:

1. How sunk cost fallacy, present bias, and overconfidence bias show up in decision making
2. Coaching questions that help each group recognize their own thinking patterns
3. Facilitation techniques for productive conversation when multiple biases collide
   Through scenario-based practice, you'll develop practical tools for navigating these challenging dynamics and guiding teams toward better decisions.
   Learning Objectives:
   · Identify three common bias patterns in decision making
   · Develop coaching questions for each stakeholder perspective
   · Discuss facilitation techniques when multiple biases are present
