A Presentation by Ade Shokoya
•  A father and his two sons, a mother and her two
daughters, a thief and a policeman are on one si
of a river.
•  There’s a boat by the river bank, but it can only
two people at a time.
•  Only the father, the mother and the policeman k
how to operate the boat.
•  The father can not be with any of the daughters
without their mother around.
•  The mother can not be with any of the sons with
their father around.
•  The thief can not be with anyone else without th
policeman around.

How can you get everyone across to the other side
the river?
"There are known knowns; there are things w

know that we know. There are known unknown
that is to say, there are things that we now kno
we don't know. But there are also unknown
unknowns - there are things we do not know w
don’t know.“
~ United States Secretary of Defense, Donald
Rumsfeld

"We do know of certain knowledge that he [Osa
Bin Laden] is either in Afghanistan, or in some
other country, or dead."
“Unknowns lead to uncertainty...
Uncertainty leads to anxiety...
Anxiety leads to cognitive biases!”

(Scrum) Master Yoda
…a deviation of judgment from accuracy or logic - can lead to
erceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment, or illogical
nterpretation
