Critical thinking: The Thinker bronze statue against a blue sky.

Topics at a Glance

Understanding how we think, decide and communicate is essential for personal growth and professional impact.

Below is an overview of core topics that shape my work, each with practical approaches to sharpen thinking and raise decision quality.

Decision-making: two open hands marked “Yes” and “No”.

Decision Architecture

Practical frameworks for better decisions and reliable judgment

Decision Frameworks & Judgment

Combining intuitive insight with structured analysis makes decisions transparent, repeatable and faster. Clear protocols align teams and reduce process inefficiencies.

The result? Less rework and meeting time and more ownership and quality.

Critical Thinking & Bias Detection

Question assumptions and identify cognitive biases that lead to errors under pressure. Develop analytical and metacognitive skills to approach challenges as rationally and reflectively as possible.

Simple routines help you to reduce misjudgements and make better decisions, even under time constraints. This leads to greater clarity, improved risk assessment and stronger use of AI and expertise.

Logical Fallacies & Argument Quality

Identify common reasoning errors and avoid rhetorical traps. Learn to structure arguments so they remain robust under pressure.

You will communicate more clearly, persuade fairly and improve the decision-readiness of meetings, memos and presentations.

Cognitive Mechanisms

How your mind works and how to train it on purpose

Fast and Slow Thinking

Learn how your mind works and use intuitive and analytical thinking deliberately. This reduces misjudgements, avoids costly detours and frees up time for execution. Prioritise complexity, weigh risks appropriately and ensure that decisions remain traceable and repeatable.

The result is more confidence, less rework and measurably better results.

Cognitive Control & Self-Regulation

Manage your impulses, maintain your focus and make considered choices under pressure. Micro-routines prevent snap judgements and decision drift. You reduce rework, conflict and escalation and fulfil your commitments.

The payoff? More self-efficacy and less mental noise.

Metacognition & Self-Reflection

Learn to observe your own thinking: What do I know? Where am I uncertain? What influences me?

With clear systems in place, you can calibrate your judgements and learn systematically from experience. This reduces repetitive errors and makes progress measurable, providing deeper insight, clearer decision-making and a steeper learning curve.

Information Literacy: Information literacy: laptop keyboard with smartphone and pens (digital research).

Information Literacy

Build a robust evidence base and communicate it clearly

Misinformation & Source Evaluation

Learn to distinguish information from misinformation with quick and easy checks. Apply actionable strategies to question sources and develop multi-perspective evaluations.

You will create a reliable evidence base, reduce errors and protect your reputation, all while spending less time on research.

Effective Science Communication

Translate complexity into clear messages that lead to action. Use language and visual cues intentionally and be honest about uncertainties to build trust. Know your audience and adapt the depth and tone of your communication accordingly.

The result? Fewer misunderstandings, better implementation and faster buy-in.

Evidence Appraisal & Working with Uncertainty

Interpret studies, statistics and risks responsibly. Understand how science works, making decisions based on clear criteria rather than false precision.

This prevents overconfidence, helps you prioritise risks appropriately and focus resources where they matter, creating robust decisions that stand the test of time.

Working with AI: AI–human collaboration: robot hand reaching towards a human finger.

AI and Digital Judgement

Partner, not autopilot: put AI to work while you stay in charge

AI Capability for Leaders and Creatives

Learn how to choose the right tools, define clear goals and metrics and deploy AI where it adds demonstrable value. Learn prompt strategies, workflow design and quality criteria to help you produce usable drafts, analyses and ideas faster. We will establish playbooks and guidelines to increase efficiency without crossing ethical boundaries or compromising quality.

Less idle time, more output and better use of AI.

Human-in-the-Loop Decision Systems

Design processes where AI is the tool and humans make the decision. We will define principles for when to automate and when to decide manually.

Transparent systems make decisions traceable and guard against inefficient, error-prone workflows. Combine the speed of AI with human accountability to control risk.

Risks, Bias and Governance

Understand how AI works to reduce misjudgements and protect data and intellectual property. Set clear policies for the fair and safe use of AI.

Establish rules for data, updates and operating procedures to ensure consistent quality and regulatory compliance and to build greater stakeholder trust.
