Paul Ormerod is a British economist who bridges complex economic theory with practical applications for businesses and policymakers. His pioneering work combines insights from biology, psychology and computer science to create more realistic models of economic behavior.
As a partner at Volterra Partners consultancy and visiting professor at University College London, Paul brings academic rigor to real-world challenges. His influential books, including "The Death of Economics" and "Why Most Things Fail," have reshaped thinking about economic systems, while his weekly column in City AM offers fresh perspectives on current economic issues.
Paul helps organizations navigate uncertainty by applying complexity science to decision-making processes. His research on nonlinear feedback and economic cycles provides frameworks for understanding market volatility, consumer behavior patterns, and the limitations of traditional forecasting methods. This approach enables businesses to develop more resilient strategies in rapidly changing environments.
Audiences leave Paul's presentations with practical tools for implementing network-based approaches to problem-solving, a deeper understanding of how behavioral economics impacts their industry, and strategies for identifying early warning signals of market shifts. His interdisciplinary perspective challenges conventional thinking while remaining accessible.
Book Paul when your organization needs to move beyond outdated economic models and embrace more effective approaches to today's complex business challenges.
