Led by: Erin Britton & Emily Cardon

Learn about how our decisions and judgments are affected by cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias, group reinforcement, and optimism bias
Discuss how cognitive biases can affect each stage of the policy making and project management process in government, from how we notice a problem, to our deliberations about fixing it, to our attempts to execute solutions
Gain tools to counter cognitive biases and make better decisions, ultimately resulting in better project planning, delivery, and policy outcomes
