Cognitive Risk

Cognitive Risk is a book about the least understood, but most pervasive risk to mankind ¿ cognitive risks. Cognitive risks are subconscious and unconscious influence factors on human decision-making: heuristics and biases. To understand the scope of cognitive risk we look at case studies, corporate and organizational failure and the science that explains why we systemically make errors in judgment and repeat the same errors.

Cognitive risk takes a multidisciplinary and pedestrian stroll through behavioral science with a light touch using stories to explain why we consistently make cognitive errors that not only increase risks, but also simultaneously fails to recognize these errors; in ourselves or our organization. This science has deep roots in organizational behavior, psychology, human factors, cognitive science, and behavioral science all influenced by the classic philosophers and enabled through advanced analytics and artificial intelligence.
