In just 90 minutes, equip your employees with research-driven tools to recognize and disrupt the hidden thought patterns that cost organizations talent, innovation, and performance, including the ways bias can quietly show up not only in people, but in the technologies organizations increasingly rely on.
Harvard’s Dr. Mahzarin Banaji compressed more than 30 years of research into one focused program so employees at all levels of your organization can gain access to practical tools to improve interactions, strengthen team dynamics, and lay the foundation for improved productivity and better business decisions. Participants will also explore research on AI and bias, so teams are better prepared to recognize and challenge bias in both human judgment and AI models. Scalable, science-based, and time-efficient, this program delivers impact for onboarding, leadership development, and ongoing culture transformation without the theory overload or time commitment of traditional training.
