A note from Jared:

“I am thrilled to join ShadowBox, a team that so closely resonates with my views on human decision-making. I began my journey studying heuristics and biases before discovering the 2009 adversarial collaboration between Daniel Kahneman and Gary Klein. It opened my mind to a new approach. Klein’s work fascinated me, and I wanted more.

My intrigue grew deeper when I encountered Klein’s Dataframe Theory of sensemaking. The theory not only addressed several challenges I’d been grappling with in my field, but it also dovetailed beautifully with other theories I was exploring, such as complexity, relevance realization, and the context-sensitive nature of human decision-making. This newfound understanding fundamentally altered my approach to decision-making, and I began to incorporate it into all my work.

Now, as a part of ShadowBox, I’m seeing world experts apply NDM principles first-hand, and the work could not be more interesting. The ShadowBox approach is compelling, and the industries we work with are fascinating. I couldn’t be more excited to be part of such an intelligent and high-impact team.”
