Mitigating Bias
In Engineering (and probably elsewhere), biases lead to outcomes of dubious quality. Their existence is a serious flaw in logic that can impact decisions and actions throughout the development process. They're difficult, if not impossible, to eliminate, but we can at least mitigate their consequence if we make a point of looking for them. That perspective supplies an underlying motivation for many System Engineering practices. read more.
Why System Engineering?
System Engineering is frequently defended as a cost reduction method. Here, it is argued that regarding it as a collection of practices for mitigation of cognitive biases is a simpler rationale, eliminating the need for problematic substantiation. read more.
