Poor decisions cost organizations a lot of money, time, and energy through missed opportunities, failed projects, and flawed strategies.
As a former CEO and strategy consultant, Bart witnessed firsthand how cognitive biases and groupthink can lead to errors at all levels of organizations - from strategic planning to daily operations. Fascinated by this often invisible phenomenon, he dove deep into the science of decision-making and spent months researching how we can overcome these common thinking traps in a professional environment.
Bart's keynotes and workshops draw from cutting-edge decision science and real-world business experience to help teams make better choices and create a culture of clear thinking. Participants leave with applicable tools to enhance both individual and group decisions. The result? Fewer expensive mistakes, better resource allocation, and stronger business outcomes.
When not inspiring organizations through keynotes or consulting, Bart embraces life as a passionate metal music lover, (plus) dad to four children and DIY enthusiast.
