Making the Implicit Explicit

How do the human aspects of decision making play out in practice in the complex and uncertain environment of large projects? What are the biases (cognitive, gender, status and so on) which undermine our best attempts to work together collaboratively and to deliver challenging outcomes?

Ruth Murray-Webster, IJ Samuel and Mary Gregory explore the reality of bias, in all its forms and talk candidly about the impact on them, their careers and on projects and the organisations that undertake them.

Learn about:

- the importance of paying attention and being willing to challenge;

- the value of courageous conversations;

- what we might learn from the lessons of safety culture in challenging bias;

- what we should be measuring to help make the implicit explicit in everything we do;

- how we can move the dial on bias in every project and every organisation.

The episode concludes with a reminder of the positive side of bias, the contributors favourite, personal heuristics that they use all the time to help ground what they are doing.
