12. Cognitive Bias can (amongst other things)…
• Lead us to believe people like, want, or need what we like, want, or
need
• Lead us to seek out evidence that supports our experiences, points
of view, or preferences
• Lead us to solve problems we understand or that have clear
outcomes that we can envision
• Lead us to become attached to things we have, have made, or
attribute as “mine”
22. Challenges our perspective and puts others at
the center of our thinking
Challenges our assumptions and beliefs with
what we’ve learned
Challenges us to consider solutions we don’t
understand or can’t quite comprehend
Challenges us to test our ideas early and often
24. • Avoid leading questions that start with “Do you/Did
you…”
• Ask for specifics- don’t assume words/routines mean
the same thing to your interviewee as they do to you
• Defer judgement
• Avoid correcting others
• Ask open-ended questions

Delta Dental of Washington is really excited to support the Design and Innovation Collective. We started in 1954 with a handful of Longshoremen who wanted dental benefits for their kids. They were pioneers who saw a vision of a service not yet provided. Today we continue to innovate, seek to understand our customers, and be the solution for their smiles. We’re excited to be in a new Location in South Lake Union in the midst of other organizations who do amazing things for the community like Fred Hutch, the Allen Brain Institute, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. We are continually looking for ways to “Get out of the Building,” and see what others are doing in the innovation space. Please come see me if you’d like to collaborate or exchange information on what you’re doing with innovation. Thank you! Feel free to give them my card or info!

Diversity,
Cognitive Biases comes out of study that has grown to be called “Behavioral Economics” - It is the combination of Economics + Psychology.
Psychology: The science of behavior and mind
Economics: Science that studies the production, distribution, and consumptions of good and services.
Some of the ways biases can affect us - especially as it relates to solving problems and making decisions.
System 1: Fast – Impulsive. Heuristics – or rules of thumb to make decisions
System 2: Slow – Contemplative. Uses reason or more cognitive mental processing
