Unconscious Bias Model

A reflection tool to surface the biases that narrow how a team imagines the future.

When to use it

Before ideation or scenario work, and whenever a team agrees too quickly.

How to start

1. Name the assumptions behind the current view.
2. Check them against typical biases such as optimism, status quo or confirmation bias.
3. Agree on how to counter them in the process.
