By the end of this course, you will be able to: Conduct a structured post-mortem analysis to identify multiple cognitive biases Design and implement bias-mitigation checklists for recurring reviews Apply evidence-based debiasing techniques to improve decision quality This course is unique because it focuses on practical, immediately applicable tools rather than theoretical knowledge. To be successful in this project, you should have a background in data analysis or business decision-making experience.
