Fredtech Presents: An Evening with Ga...
Description
Spend the Evening learning more about Fredtech and hearing from Gary Klein.
Gary Klein, Ph.D., is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking work in cognitive science. Dr. Klein was instrumental in founding the field of Naturalistic Decision Making, and helped to initiate the new discipline of macrocognition. He developed the Recognition-Primed Decision (RPD) model to describe how people actually make decisions in natural settings. His work has been incorporated into Army doctrine and inspired Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink. He’s been featured in Fast Company, Oprah Magazine, Forbes, and the Huffington Post.
Among his publication are Sources of Power: How People Make Decisions, The Power of Intuition, Working Minds: A Practitioner’s Guide to Cognitive Task Analysis, and Streetlights and Shadows: Searching for the Keys to Adaptive Decision Making.
His latest book, Seeing What Others Don't: The Remarkable Ways We Gain Insights, illuminates what insights are and how they happen, and how organizations and information technology systems can block potential discoveries.
