   #55: The Causal Landscape of the 2025 World Series with Gary Klein

   Gary Klein joins us to unpack the causal landscape of the 2025 World Series, exploring how decisions, context, and key moments shaped the final outcome. Gary Klein, Ph.D., authored Sources of Power: How People Make Decisions (https://www.amazon.com/Sources-Power-People-Decisions-Press/dp/0262534290/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1TME6T5V6FH2T&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.b564UsR4YoExs4PolH0gKmluPSLJx9TojLImgzEd7iGA3kMya9c7SjR13_83qc65phkW3YZEu0vSq3GiIpLvt30ACg-34fj4awwtH8GPqeOy5gnwLFJZD1OPVkcFYevnMX6svqTCijzbrrVp9il4EwrsNNuwQO9F-JUauC7HlmDBRJuj-qqkOztLngx9p1SIuo-hE-B4kH-D7R-vZEbGT9obc6CfDbdoo0UMoE1bRO0.ey1Ho9vuwshSOD2OSm7J9hnjjHPeUgofYY-QjpkXris&dib_tag=se&keywords=sources+of+power&qid=1741203780&s=books&sprefix=souces+of+power%2Cstripbooks%2C86&sr=1-1), and five other books plus three co-edited volumes. He is known for the cognitive models he described, such as the Recognition-Primed Decision (RPD) model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition-primed_decision), the Data/Frame model of sensemaking (https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2007-07680-006), the Management By Discovery model of planning in complex settings, and the Triple Path Model of Insight. (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/seeing-what-others-dont/201306/the-different-forms-insight) He developed methods including the Pre-Mortem method of risk assessment, techniques for Cognitive Task Analysis, the ShadowBox training approach, and also helped Judith Orasau pioneer the Naturalistic Decision Making (https://naturalisticdecisionmaking.org/) movement in 1989. Dr. Klein has decades of work experience in dozens of work domains, including military, healthcare, and emergency response. The company he started in 1978, Klein Associates, grew to 37 employees by the time he sold it in 2005. He kicked off his new company, ShadowBox LLC, in 2014. His hobbies include spending time with his grandchildren, watching movies, and beating John Schmitt at the Asian game of Go.
