Résumé anglais Decision-making is a fraught process for both individuals and groups, although it is more so for the latter than for the former. However, in the workplace, decision-making processes lie at the heart of managerial responsibilities. Past research has highlighted the many biases involved in these processes. Our study addresses the question of whether the awareness of potential cognitive and social biases serves to mitigate their effects. We compare the performance of groups in a structured decision-making exercise (“lost at sea”) that engages both individuals and the collective. For this purpose, some groups received training in advance on the cognitive and social biases involved in decision-making processes. The results show that these groups significantly improved their performance compared with the performance of their individual members. The groups that were not informed of these processes saw their collective performance decrease in comparison with the individual performances of their members.
