Why Would Anyone use an Outside Firm…
… a Non-industry Expert, to do their Research or
Support Strategy Development? Unbiased perspectives!
“We love to agree with people who agree with us.
It's why we only visit websites that express our political
opinions, and why we mostly hang around people who
hold similar views and tastes. We tend to be put off by
individuals, groups, and news sources that make us feel
uncomfortable about our views —what the behavioral
psychologist B. F. Skinner called cognitive dissonance.
It's this preferential mode of behavior that fuels our preexisting views, while at the same time ignoring or
dismissing opinions —no matter how valid”
Source: George Dvorsky, The 12 cognitive biases that prevent you
from being rational.
