Blind Spot Analysis

Blind spot analysis is a method aimed at uncovering obsolete assumptions and flaws in strategic decision making caused by bias and misinterpretation. It analyzes common sources of blind spots like misinterpretation, human incapabilities, biases, and ignorance of facts. A case study shows how blind spots can negatively impact project planning through irrational project scheduling from a lack of requirements analysis and underestimating costs due to inadequate knowledge during analysis. Overcoming blind spots requires constantly monitoring the internal and external environment, performing regular competitive intelligence, and benchmark testing.

Understanding the origin of Blind
spot analysis
 Blind spot is a
biological term related
to human eye and
Neuroscience.

 What you think


depends on what you
see – Neuroscience.
Defining Blind spot analysis
 Blind spot analysis is a method aimed at
uncovering obsolete assumptions in a
decision maker’s mental scheme of the
environment.

 In other words, It uncovers flaws in the process


of strategic decision making that are caused by
bias and misinterpretation (may be due to
incapability).
Resources of blind spots
 Misinterpretation

 Human incapability

 Human bias

 Fact ignorance
Misinterpretation

 Invalid assumptions

 Information filtering
Human bias

 Overconfidence

 Winners curse

 Escalating commitments
How it affects – a case study

Project Planning

Scheduling Cost estimation


Project scheduling
 Ignorance of any requirements may
lead to a blind spot for designing &
procuring. And this spot may
misguide the authority in project
scheduling.

 And excessive or irrational schedules are


probably the single most destructive
influence in all of software.
Cost estimation
 Due to lack of adequate knowledge
(off-course, due to the spot during
analysis), the authority may estimate
the project cost less than whatever is
required.

 And this wrong decision may be one


of the main reason of project failure.
How to overcome this problem
 Always keep in touch with
environment externally and
internally.

 Perform regular competitive


intelligence program.

 Perform benchmark testing regularly.
