What do you do when decision-making in your organisation is driven not by data, but by the highest earner on your team? How do you shift a culture designed around level of authority to one powered by evidence, creativity and collaboration? 

Join us for a step-by-step guide to undoing this cognitive bias, as we equip you with the skills and knowledge to: 
- Align senior leaders around user-centred, outcome-driven decision making.  
- Secure organisational commitment to user research and analytical insight.  
- Apply research findings to inform strategy, influence decisions, and challenge assumption-led or preference-led thinking.
