This comprehensive course aims to help you improve your reflections, analyses, and thinking process and therefore your decisions through the practical identification and mitigation of biases. The course covers two fundamental biases related to metacognitive and psychological needs, 17 cognitive biases, as well as the myriad of emotionally induced and normative biases.

In a nutshell, this course was designed with a specific objective in mind. How can we improve at best our thought process and analysis to obtain the best possible result, thus the best possible decisions?
We have drawn on the experience, knowledge, and understanding gathered by the professions most concerned and most demanding in terms of analysis and reflection: the scientific community and the intelligence community.
This approach allowed us to select those major biaises that could impair thought process and to find the best ways to mitigate these biases. We thus cover a large range of biases, and not only a couple of haphazardly chosen biases.
Throughout the course, each time a bias is explained, ways to mitigate it or cope with it is suggested. As a result, you will not only be able to learn to identify these biases but also to reduce them and to improve your thought process. In a typical unit you will find
- A video focusing on the topic of the unit, most often explaining biases.
- Exercices so that you can practice identifying biases and then mitigating them.
- As often as possible, other videos were added to make it easier to understand a bias.
- Readings if you want to learn more about a specific bias.
- A test (save for the concluding unit).
You will receive a certificate at the end of the course if you successfully completed all units with their tests.
(Units handling biases are already included in the course on analytical modeling, and thus trainees who have registered for that course do not need to take the course on mitigating biases).
Disclaimer: We decline any obligation of results here and we may not be held responsible for the way you will apply or not the course and for possible consequences. Being mindful of and sensitive to others and to yourself should always be your first concern.
