Competencies: Business (Behavioral), Interpersonal (Behavioral), Workplace (Technical)
Workplace Application:
Attendees will learn ways to see beyond your perceptions and explore and implement alternatives.  

Research on decision-making reveals that when individuals are highly aware of their decision-making process, they can see how non-determinant data influences their thinking. This awareness mitigates bias in decision-making by giving them access to a more extensive set of choices to reach their intended outcomes.   Experiential learning is an integral component of the workshops and the participant development process. The session includes simulated experiences that transform participant behaviors through awareness. The experiential learning model builds insights by having participants do the actions in a training space to reduce decision-making bias.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how priming bias works.
  • See how bias can affect your choices at work.
  • Conduct a personal social network analysis.
  • Develop new practices and skills to minimize bias in business decisions.
  • Learn how unconscious bias affects diversity and business strategy.
  • Develop a business case to integrate diversity strategy throughout organization.

Virtual attendees: This session is LIVE ONLY will be unavailable to view on demand.
