Status bias is the term used to describe the unfortunate fact that communications such as ideas, proposals and papers are often judged not on their merits but on the status of the originator. Researchers at the University of Innsbruck in Austria carried out a study in which they sent out the same academic paper to three groups of reviewers. The first set of reviewers were told the paper was written by Vernon Smith, winner of the Nobel Memorial prize for Economic Studies.

I've been a consultant most of my working life, doing all kinds of consulting - starting out in software development, moving on to process improvement, data analytics, new product development and strategy. To paraphrase an old saying, all consulting is good, and some of it is useful.

That’s why it's so important to not to believe everything you think, there are simply too many ways to get things wrong.

Oh, the suggestion box. Such a little innocent concept, a simple object. Yet it holds a peculiar power to divide people into two opposing camps. One group will state with vigor that the suggestion box is dead. The other one will claim that the suggestion box is a crucial part of your business’s growth. So, which one holds true? Sure, the good old, beaten-up box is obsolete and rarely seen around; however, it does not mean that the concept isn’t working.
