Bias Breakers Impact
Bias Breakers can be an effective way to increase awareness of cognitive biases and how they can reduce objectivity in decision making. Some Bias Breakers users have seen immediate improvements without additional training, consulting or formal planning of a cognitive bias awareness program.
Awareness of cognitive biases can be assessed through surveys before and after the introduction of Bias Breakers. In this example, after only 2 weeks of having Bias Breakers available in the organization, awareness increased for all cognitive biases addressed while lack of awareness decreased. These results were achieved by simply placing the cards in conference rooms with no instructions, consultations or training.
Objectivity in decision making can be assessed through surveys before and after the introduction of Bias Breakers. In this example, after only 2 weeks of having Bias Breakers available in the organization, overconfidence in objectivity decreased as awareness of cognitive bias increased. These results were achieved by simply placing the cards in conference rooms with no instructions, consultations or training.
Bias Breakers can have an immediate impact on your organization's awareness of cognitive bias, and at very little cost. No formal training program is required. Just put Bias Breakers where people can interact with them.
