Individual Assignment: How to Minimize Biases and Increase Objective Decision Making

Purpose of Assignment

While risks may be obvious in a project, individual biases can influence the ability for change to be effective and may be more subversive. The purpose of this assignment is for you to explore potential biases that can alter the outcome of a needed change and to identify ways to identify and minimize these biases. This assignment is important as it presents a differing way of examining analytics and the perception that data is an objective tool for making decisions.
