Shortcuts 16

“In making judgements, people rely on a limited number of mental shortcuts, which sometimes lead to severe and systematic errors.”Professor Daniel KahnemanNobel prize winner

Bias:

A judgment made even with compelling data and information to the contrary.

Unconscious bias:

A judgment made without being aware that we are doing so.

Dr Mazharin Banaji, Harvard

The bias blindspot:

The phenomenon that the average person believes they are less biased than average.

Dr Emily Pronin, Princeton


17Shortcuts and beliefs

Using blind screens increased females in major orchestras by 30%


Fairer decisions 18

3Build failsafes

• The decisions you make

• The shortcuts you have

• The situations you make decisions in

• Assess your decisions as you make them

• Challenge your evidence

• Make your decision-making transparent to colleagues

• Be empathic and reflect on your decisions

Using counter-stereotyping continuously


Building bridges 19

• The power of in-groups/out-groups to include and exclude

• How our micromessages can make people part of the team or outside the tent

• How to be more inclusive in our day to day behavior

• How to stop being a bystander
