Making Better Decisions with Data
Speaker(s):

Duration: 60 minutes
Track: Communicate & Lead
What cognitive biases exist that prevent us from using data correctly--and how can we mitigate their effects? This session provides the audience with a review of common cognitive biases and places them in the context of past failures of data to predict and handle uncertainty. If we know these biases exist, we can use them to our advantage and avoid instances in which they might mislead us. This presentation will show the audience how to make better decisions with the data they already have.
