#173 Removing bias from data decision making with Chris Dowsett, Head of Decision Science and Analytics at Spaceship

<p>Human beings are biased by nature. Each of us forms opinions about the world based on the experiences we've had and the backgrounds we come from.</p> <p>As companies step up the use of data in their day-to-day operations, they become increasingly reliant on data systems to help them make critical business decisions but this is still impacted by human bias.</p> <p>Even when consciously making a decision, these hidden biases influence good decision making, and like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, there is a ripple effect from that decision that can impact many areas.</p> <p>If you are in a leadership role, that ripple effect can result in multiple consequences in an organisation.</p> <p>In this week’s podcast episode, Felipe spoke with Chris Dowsett, Head of Decision Science and Analytics at Spaceship.</p> <p>Chris has been working in Data Science, Analytics and Decision Science for the past 18 years.
