Emre understood our way of doing things, enriched our vision on data-based decision making, and provided applied ideas based on scientific evidence. Strongly recommended to deal with both known and unknown unknowns.

Challenges you to confront preconceived wisdom and best practices by offering compelling evidence on why decision making can so often go wrong. I would recommend to those who want to improve decision making, and learn how experience can cloud judgments.

Eye opener! Very insightful for managers. You won't look at decision making the same way again.

Interesting and inspiring! Challenges many assumptions and ideas that we take for granted in our daily and professional life, which dangerously end up trapping (or even worse misleading) our decisions.

The Decision Professionals in Shell had two sessions with Emre on biased or distorted experiences and their impact on the business. Emre is a very enthusiastic and accomplished speaker, and these sessions were very well received.

Indispensable to managers, who want to understand, predict, and improve their own and others’ decisions. I'd recommend to all types of organizations.
