âSystem 1â versus âSystem 2â thinking
⢠Two fundamental thinking modes of the brain
⢠System 1: the âautomatic systemâ informed by knowledge
and experience
⢠System 2: the âeffortful systemâ used to consciously think
through an issue in a systematic way
⢠Based on the research and book âThinking, Fast and Slowâ
by the Nobel-prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman
⢠Which Thinking System are you using?

Why thinking mattersâŚ
⢠High-level mismanagement led to Lehmanâs $600 million demise. The
financial crisis triggered by this collapse is estimated to have caused
indirectly the loss of 2 million jobs.
⢠Hoover in the UK offered two free flights for every purchase over $150.
The flights cost more than the products, losing the company a cool $74
million.
⢠IBM hired Microsoft to develop an operating system for its
new PC â but let them keep the rights to the software.
⢠âŚand so many moreâŚ

Typical âHuman Errorsâ in thinking
1. Halo Effect: If I like some of the parts, I will like the whole (Exam
Marking)
2. What You See Is All There Is (WYSIATI) Effect: What you see is all
there is (Gorilla video)
3. Framing Effect: The same information can be viewed favorably or
unfavorably depending on how it is stated (10% Fat, 90% fat free)
4. Anchoring Effect: We can be strongly influenced by numbers and
facts not really relevant to the issue. (Maximum of 6 items may be
purchased by one customer)
5. Availability Bias: We donât access all of our memories, we
recall the impactful, unusual occurrences
(Tornadoâs versus asthma)

When to use different approaches
Criteria when System 1 is safe to use when:
⢠The issue is simple
⢠I have seen an issue like this many times before
⢠The cost of being wrong is low and the consequences are
acceptable
Criteria when System 2 is safe to use when:
⢠The issue is complex
⢠I have not seen an issue like this before
⢠The cost of being wrong is high and the consequences
unacceptable
⢠Time for repeated System 1 thinking is over
⢠Number of trial fixes, people involved or elapsed time

Why did the chicken cross the road?
⢠Farmer â running a dairy, arable and grain distribution business â very risk averse
and wanting to minimize the kind of publicity which would distract from the
business
⢠Farmerâs wife â noticed something strange
⢠Farmerâs son â drinking, shooting, fishing, soon to be a lorry driver
⢠Articulated lorry driver â drives the daily run with the big lorry to get the bulk grain
from afar
⢠Local lorry driver â drives 7.5 ton lorries in the local area
⢠Herdsman â dairy farmer
⢠Grain Operations Manager â manages the grain business
⢠Journalist â looking for a story⌠this might just become viral

Exercise
A major incident has just started (you will be blamed....)
Under your seat you may have found a coloured card.
Each of you has different information about the incident.
Others have different coloured cards
a) Find the people whose cards have different colours
b) Take control, and use the available information to
decide what to do
You have 20 minutes (exactly 1200 seconds, not 1201...)
