Registrations Closed

FWA Singapore Thanks Standard Chartered Bank for the kind sponsorship of the venue.

Whether they are quick and impulsive or more complex, we all make thousands of decisions every day. It is now widely accepted that unconscious bias affects our decision making process. Research also shows that it is not enough for us to know that we are biased, (it is unconscious after all), we also have to develop and apply strategies to mitigate the impact of this bias. 

Furthermore, if we are on the receiving end of unconscious bias, it is important to know how to not let it distract us and affect our confidence. 

In this interactive session we will look at:
- The science behind the concept
- How it affects us both personally and in our roles as leaders
- How to minimise the impact of bias
- How to be resilient in the face of bias
