Overview

Developing strategies to mitigate bias requires a combination of self-awareness, critical thinking, and a willingness to challenge our own assumptions. It’s not an easy task, as bias often operates at a subconscious level, but it’s essential for making sound judgments and reducing the potential for errors. Having tools and techniques to address bias, such as employing diverse perspectives, seeking out contrary evidence, and fostering an environment where dissenting opinions are valued, can help teams navigate through complex problems more effectively.
