Bias refers to systematic patterns of deviation from rational judgment, where decisions are influenced by unconscious beliefs, assumptions or stereotypes. These biases can affect everything from hiring decisions and leadership evaluations to strategic business choices.
In today’s complex and fast-paced world, bias is especially relevant because organizations rely on quick decisions and large amounts of information. Without awareness, bias can lead to missed opportunities, reduced diversity and flawed strategies. Understanding bias enables individuals and organizations to make more objective, inclusive and effective decisions.
