Our assessment of both of these is O fb h f h i distorted, leading to systematic errors or biases e.g. • Certainty effect • Losses loom larger than gains disposition effect sunk cost effect k t ff t © Dr Adrian Banks – 2013 RapidBI|CIPD

Coping with Complexity Coping with Complexity Heuristics are simple strategies to manage complexity or reduce mental effort e.g. g satisficing Are you more likely to die of a Are you more likely to die of a shark attack or a falling aeroplane part?

Out of Our Minds Out of Our Minds • Much cognition takes place outside our head • Our skill is not in making the decision, but in controlling the tools to decide for us the tools to decide for us • Default settings and constraints of tools can subtly influence the outcome © Dr Adrian Banks – 2013 RapidBI|CIPD

Summary • We are story tellers and we decide based on We are story tellers and we decide based on our stories instead of just the facts • With experience, we know what stories to With experience, we know what stories to expect and we fill in the gaps accurately with automatic cognitive processes • Without experience, we should actively seek alternative stories • Only by practicing this deliberately and extensively will we improve © Dr Adrian Banks – 2013 RapidBI|CIPD
