The AlphaMind is a series of business and marketing related podcasts, but this episode offers us an interview with Gary Klein, the psychologist who pioneered the concept of Naturalistic Decision-Making, which has become a popular way to interpret how pilots make many high pressure high stakes decisions in aviation, or when faced with conditions of uncertainty. In this episode #45 Dr Klein discusses the subject of Decision-making under conditions of uncertainty.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gary Klein’s research alleges that intuition lies at the root of great decision-making. And there is no person in the world more qualified to talk about Intuition and Decision-Making under pressure in uncertain and time limited situations than him. He has studied and practiced in this field for almost 5 decades and is credited with creating a whole new field of study, Naturalist Decision Making. His work has been applied across a number of different industries to help improve how people make choices in life and death studies.

Prior to Dr Klein\u2019s Naturalistic Decision Making approach, psychologists used laboratory settings to study how people make decisions, with a heavy focus on human bias and errors in judgment. Dr Klein flipped the focus to conducting decision research in real world settings, studying how experts including firefighters, military battle commanders, and doctors use intuition and experience to engage in effective decision-making. 

Dr Klein has received praise from psychologists and researchers whose perspectives have differed dramatically from his own. Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman wrote, “Gary Klein is a living example of how useful applied psychology can be when it is done well…Klein and I disagree on many things…But I am convinced that there should be more psychologists like him.”

Amongst some of the innovations which have emerged from Dr Klein\u2019s work is the Pre-Mortem tool. Dr Klein presented the \u2018Pre-Mortem\u2019 as a tool for improving thinking, planning and risk management of projects in a 2007 edition of the Harvard Business Review, which can be viewed here. He also founded a method of teaching expert decision-making used an approach called the shadowbox method.
