Uncover how hidden biases affect organizations and reflect on your own biases. Through a lecture and video exercises, learn what bias is, how it operates, and the impact of bias at work. Understand how quickly and easily we make judgements about others, and how bias can have a significant negative influence on museums, aquariums, and zoos.

Learning Objectives:

• Experience how bias functions in the brain, shaping our perception of reality.
• Recognize the negative impacts of bias and the business case to mitigate it.
• Learn about exemplars that have successfully mitigated bias individually and organizationally.
