How to Apply Self-Defence Towards Statistics?
You are likely to encounter statistics in vast amounts both in your work and in your daily life. It can be daunting to process all this data while remaining accurate when reporting on them. To get the most out of statistics, and the data they provide there are three convenient self-defence mechanisms you can use.
It is for example important to remain vigilant of a phenomenon known as the Polluted Poll. A statistic might for example claim that 85% of the members of a certain committee all agree that a certain policy is a terrible idea. This number may seem impressive at first. Without further digging though we do not know anything yet about the size as well as the type of people in the questioned group. Who specifically is not on the committee, as well as data about the scale of the agreement can be crucial in determining if a statistic is anywhere near as meaningful as it might appear at first sight. A good general rule of thumb when defending against statistics is that you will want to gather as much data about your data as possible.
Statistics also often seem engineered to trigger some sort of emotional response. It is best to remain vigilant of these kinds of Emotional Stats. On closer inspection statistics are rarely as fun as these triggers seem to suggest. If numbers seem too good to be true, there is always the distinct possibility that they indeed are too good to be true. Either way, some further digging into the matter stands well recommended.
Finally, there is the trap of the Cocky Correlations. Always keep in mind that correlation and causation are two fundamentally different creatures. Though data suggesting a link between national chocolate consumption and its amount of Nobel Prize winners can be entertaining and interesting, a healthy amount of scepticism still seems warranted. It might be a better idea to instead look for lack of association rather than causation, because these are much harder to find in nature.
Armed with these tools you should be able to navigate the treacherous landscape of statistics and help you to practice defence against them. As a final word of advice, it is worthwhile to realise that it is much better to know everything there is to know about one number, rather than to have a haphazard spotty knowledge of many dozens of them.

Surviving and Thriving in your Multicultural Workplace
This conference weaves together elements of philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics to examine how humans function as creative meaning-makers, and how we learn, grow and evolve. It looks at how the different “others” in a multicultural workplace that annoy us can be either the path to life-long learning, or a shortcut to frustration. Themes raised include intelligence as an obstacle to wisdom, chaos and order, being and doing, awareness, and personal integrity.
You will leave with a greater ability to choose and apply the types of self-reflectiveness and relational strategies that offer a rewarding way forward. You might even acquire an appreciation for the colleagues that frustrate you most!
Who is Daniel?
Daniel Haeberlé is a personal, professional and organisational development consultant, and facilitator. He holds a Bachelors of Applied Sciences (Aeronautical Engineering) and a Masters of Business Administration, but his self-directed learning has proven more useful. He has been providing professional and organisational development services to multinational and supra-national organisations for 30 years. His work with the EU Institutions began in 2000 as Founding Partner of AIM & Associés.
As a young man, Daniel found most approaches to intercultural communication to be useless in helping him deal with both sustained intercultural collaboration and his own Canadian-French biculturality. He decided to try to do something about that. Many years and much research later, Daniel’s work is about supporting transformational learning through the development of the capacity for presence and self-reflection.

Fake News, Rumours and Urban Legends: Why Are They So Successful?
Rumours, urban legends, hoaxes, fake news, conspiracy theories, and misinformation are only a fraction of the numerous terms that refer to questionable content, but do they all mean the same thing?
How are rumours and false news created? Why are they so successful? Why do we promote them and believe in them? How can we recognise, verify or deconstruct them? How can we warn those who wrongfully believe in their truthfulness and share them without double checking? These questions and more will be answered in this conference!

Aurore Van de Winkel is a doctor in Information and Communication, Scientific Collaborator at the Catholic University of Louvain and a consultant. She has been working for about fifteen years on the subject of rumours. She has been passionate about stories since her childhood and worked on urban legends for her thesis. She thus became aware of the impact that false stories can have on our opinions and our behaviour.
With her knowledge of the mechanisms of rumours and her ability to make quick and relevant diagnoses on problematic situations, Aurore then decided to provide her advice to organisations and people affected by the noise they create. More information about Aurore’s work can be found here.

How Can You Creatively Rethink a Problem?
Rethinking a problem draws on two different strains of thought. On the one hand a very precise analysis of the problem is required to know what the problem even is and how it needs to be tackled. On the other hand, creative input is essential in order to open up less conventional, potentially more effective ways out of the problem. Effectively rethinking a problem therefore requires you to stimulate both halves of your brain to act in tandem to come up with a tangible solution.
There are several questions that need to be answered with precision before tackling a problem. These include the exact nature of the problem, who the stakeholders in the problem are, and what avenues of action the various stakeholders have. This type of precise problem analysis can be practiced by analysis existing cases, or by engaging in exercises of mental, intellectual, and even physical problem solving.
Finding, knowing, and being able to creatively assess the tools you can use in this case is a vital skill to have. This all should help you to creatively rethink the problems you are confronted with.
