Having heard the most common pitfalls in the last video, take some time to critically look at your own work.

In addition, there are now two things you really need to check.

The first thing is:
Is there any bias in your scoring of the ideas for change? The easiest way to check is to organize a meeting with some critical people, who dare to tell you their opinions about your scorings. If, from such a meeting, you get the feeling that you biased one idea over another, try to redo the scoring, but with a different group of people

The second thing is:
Check very carefully if your plan for how to use the MC table contains elements of ‘using the table to convince others’, ‘using the table to show that this idea is a good idea’, etc. This also might reflect a bias for one of the ideas over another. That will be part of the unpredictable decision making process that also includes power relations, coalition forming, dealing, etc.; however, it is not part of the analytical mindset which, in essence, tries to make information available in a neutral and explicit way. You can easily move from one mindset to another, of course. You need to master many to find you way in (business) life.

The easiest way of dealing with it is to write a plan together with a few other people that are equal to you (no power relations for instance, no dependencies).
