Workplace Application:
Learn how to advocate for the use of techniques to counter common biases in group decision-making and become an evidence-based manager. 

We all think we make rational decisions based on sound evidence. If this is true, why aren't we all batting 1000?  In this session, we will explore what it means to truly be an evidence-based manager.  We will examine several research studies on decision making in sports and apply them to HR and organizational processes.  Learn how you can advocate for the use of techniques to counter common biases in group decision-making and help develop the game plan that will make your organization a champion.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain and justify the importance of HR being an evidence-based profession.
  • Understand what constitutes sound evidence for organizational decision making.
  • Learn practical measures to prevent biases in group decision making.
