Article 2. Choice vs obligation: motivation shapes the effectiveness of your review

Algorithm Integrity Matters: for Financial Services leaders, to enhance fairness and accuracy in data processing

Spoken (by a human) version of this article.
The motivation(s) for commissioning a review can determine how effective it will be.

Consider a personal health check-up:

• Sometimes we undergo medical check-ups because we don’t have a choice. We need to - for example for workplace requirements or for insurance.
• At other times, we choose to undergo such check-ups. We want to maintain optimal health and catch any potential issues early.

Often, our approach differs depending on whether we are forced to, or choose to.

The motivations – need vs want – can define how we prioritise them, what our interactions with the medical professional are and how we view the results.

Our engagement and satisfaction levels are generally higher when we choose (than when we are forced).

The same holds for reviews and audits.
