Biases: flaws or features?


Listen Later

We all have them and a lot of the time, they’re influence is unavoidable. Biases are quite simply, part of the human condition. But despite considerable exposure in the media, research and even popular culture, much of the discussion has centred on viewing biases as flaws of the human condition. 

In this second episode of our four part series into decision-making, we look at what biases mean for individuals and organisations working in sport. We discuss how heuristics are useful tools that can actually be harnessed in decision-making, how to avoid them turning them into biases, and most importantly of all, we provide some practical tools that we all can implement in our workplaces. To explore this topic, Host Sam Robertson is joined once again by high-performance strategist, David Joyce.
