About Gerd Gigerenzer

Renowned psychologist and behavioral scientist
Expert in decision making under uncertainty
Director at Max Planck Institute for Human Development
Gerd Gigerenzer is a pioneering psychologist and behavioral scientist who transforms how organizations make decisions under uncertainty through evidence-based heuristics rather than complex probability models.

As Director Emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and leader of the Harding Center for Risk Literacy at the University of Potsdam, Gerd has collaborated with institutions like the Bank of England to revolutionize decision-making processes. His academic career spans prestigious positions at the University of Chicago and multiple European universities.

Gerd helps organizations navigate today's complex business landscape by replacing ineffective decision protocols with his "adaptive toolbox" approach. His research demonstrates that simple decision rules often outperform complicated algorithms in uncertain environments, enabling faster, more accurate choices when information is limited. This practical framework has proven particularly valuable in high-stakes industries including healthcare, finance, and technology.

Audiences leave Gerd's presentations with immediately applicable decision-making techniques that reduce cognitive biases and improve judgment under pressure. They gain concrete methods for enhancing risk literacy across their organization, along with evidence-based strategies for communicating complex risks to stakeholders and customers.

Book Gerd to equip your team with practical decision-making tools that deliver measurable improvements in organizational performance amid uncertainty.
