Strategy Coach — Clarity + Alignment

Rational Thinking and Bias

Purpose

Recognise cognitive biases and improve decision quality

How to Use

1. Introduce key cognitive biases: confirmation bias, availability heuristic, anchoring, framing effects, loss aversion, planning fallacy. 2. Participants identify a recent decision likely influenced by one of these biases. 3. Apply debiasing techniques: pre-mortem (imagine failure and work backwards), reference class forecasting (what actually happened in similar situations?), seeking disconfirming evidence. 4. Build a decision-making protocol that systematically checks for the most common biases.
