Why subscribe?

For tips, strategies, and resources to improve your decisions.

I work on making upstream decision failures in organisations visible, using evidence rather than gimmicks, and translate them into practical strategies and tools.

This newsletter focuses on how decisions are actually made at work, and how insights from decision science and behavioural science can help before problems show up downstream.

Why I write this

I work at the intersection of decision science, behavioural science, and organisational practice. My work involves applied research, diagnostics, strategy, and training with public- and private-sector organisations, with a focus on workplace decision-making.

I also serve as Director of Research on the Board of the Global Association of Applied Behavioural Scientists, focusing on decision-making at work, and as a Steering Committee member of the Alliance for Decision Education.

This newsletter is a space to think in public about what decision and behavioral sciences can offer organisations, and how they can be used more responsibly and effectively in practice.

Who this is for

Meta-Decisions is for people who make or influence decisions at work — in leadership, policy, research, consulting, or strategy — and who value rigour, while also recognising the limits of theory when it isn’t thoughtfully applied.

It is for those who want to improve their own decision-making, as well as for those whose role involves helping others decide better.

If you’re interested in decision quality rather than lucky outcomes; in evidence rather than anecdotes; and in tools that support judgement rather than replace it, this newsletter is likely to be useful.
