The Science of Unconscious Bias: How Hidden Assumptions Hold Teams Back

Bias isn’t always obvious. In fact, that’s the problem. Join ED&I expert Adam Tobias and TRN’s James Osborne to explore how unconscious bias silently shapes hiring, culture, and leadership—and what to do about it.

Online

Wed, October 1: 11:00 - 11:45

Unconscious bias. You’ve heard the phrase. But do you really understand what it means—or how it shows up in your hiring, team dynamics, and leadership decisions?

In this session, Adam Tobias, Co-Founder of Inventum Group, joins James Osborne to demystify the science behind unconscious bias and share practical steps to build more inclusive, high-performing teams. Whether you’re just starting your ED&I journey or looking to deepen your organisation’s commitment to equity and belonging, this is your opportunity to move beyond theory and into real action.

We’ll explore:

  • Why unconscious bias exists and how it affects decision-making
  • How bias shows up in recruitment, promotion, and day-to-day culture
  • Proven ways to reduce bias in hiring and management practices
  • The business case for inclusion—and how to build a culture of belonging
  • Real-life case studies from Inventum’s global consulting work
