Show Description:


“Today we are talking with my friend and business partner, Gary Klein. Gary is one of the pioneers of the Naturalistic Decision Making movement. He is known for moving the study of decision making out of the laboratory and into the wild. In 1989, he invited a small group of international researchers to meet in Dayton, OH to talk about decision making in natural environments and how to study this phenomenon. It was that group of 32 researchers who came up with the term Naturalistic Decision Making.


Gary's many contributions include the recognition-primed decision model that has greatly influenced how we all think about decision making and expertise. He and his colleagues developed early cognitive task analysis methods that have been a core set of tools for studying decision making in real world environments. He has mentored countless researchers, including both of us. Gary now lives in Boston, MA. He runs a company called ShadowBox LLC, and is also part-owner and advisor to Applied Decision Science, LLC.”
