Organizations don't just ad unnecessary stuff. They dilligently organize this stuff in elaborate systems that create enormous costs, are rarely fit for purpose and the purpose of which those inside (the organization) soon forgets. Case in point: Performance Management.

Is there evidence that training in understanding classic business biases, delusions, and heuristics makes you less likely to do this? I assume these are all a result of simple cognitive biases (selection bias, survivors bias, narrative bias, ad hoc and post hoc rationalization, halo effetct, etc). So maybe tackling those will help battle such hubris?
