When was the last time someone changed your mind? Really changed your mind….
We’re tough nuts to crack when it comes to change – and that’s no accident.
This is just one example of a cognitive bias - it is our very human predilection to cling on to our existing beliefs and ways of doing things. Biases are like small mental short-cuts, which save time and effort - but can lead to decision-making illusions.

At Nomensa we understand the power of deep, multi-disciplinary collaboration. Knowing these key biases and some simple tricks to combat them, will help you and your teams collaborate better and ultimately deliver better results.
