Get ready to dive deep into the wacky world of human psychology and data management! This session will explore the sneaky ways our brains can trick us into making bad decisions, especially when dealing with complex property valuations. We'll show you how to spot those pesky cognitive biases, like narrative bias and framing effects, and learn how to fight back with objective data analysis. Then, we'll take a trip to Cuyahoga County to see how they tamed their land records chaos and created a streamlined system that even your grandma could understand. You'll leave this session armed with the tools to make smarter decisions, tell better data stories, and maybe even impress your boss (or at least avoid getting fired). So, grab your thinking caps and get ready for a mind-bending adventure!
