Unconscious Bias and Cognitive Diversity
To conclude this series, Roger explains the importance of psychological safety, cognitive diversity and dealing with unconscious bias in promoting a healthier work environment, and increasing efficiency within your business.
Overview
The greater the range of human experience you bring to bear on identifying a problem, the better you’ll be able to overcome it. Being able to draw on a resource of people with a wider range of ways of thinking and life experiences helps avoid the collective blindness brought on by ‘assumed framing’ of a topic and it prevents the onset of groupthink.
Key learning objectives:
What is unconscious bias, and how can we overcome it?
What is psychological safety?
What are some typical conduct conversation questions?
What is cognitive diversity?
