Conversations on decision intelligence, cognitive diversity, and leadership decision design.
Across podcasts, live interviews and publications, we share research-backed insights into how organisations can design better decisions, reduce bias, and strengthen leadership performance.
Topics explored include decision intelligence frameworks, wise crowd research, structural bias in executive teams, and the practical application of cognitive diversity in modern leadership.
Designing Better Decision Rooms at Scale | Decision Intelligence in Leadership
Kylee Ingram joined Avetis Antaplyan on The Tech Leader’s Playbook to explore a question that sits at the heart of modern leadership:
Why do smart leaders still make bad decisions?
In this episode, Kylee unpacks the science behind cognitive diversity and why demographic diversity alone is not enough to prevent blind spots. Drawing on research from Dr. Juliet Bourke and wise crowd theory, the conversation explores the structural biases that quietly shape executive teams — social bias, information bias, and capacity bias — and how they influence decision quality at scale.
The discussion covers:
-
Why most CEOs cluster into just two decision styles
-
How the “HIPPO effect” influences outcomes
-
Why independence in decision design matters
-
How structured cognitive diversity can reduce decision error by up to 30%
-
Practical ways leaders can audit who is missing from the room
-
How matching communication to decision profiles improves buy-in and clarity
From scaling startups to enterprise governance, this episode provides practical insight into designing better rooms, better conversations, and ultimately, better outcomes.

S.M.A.R.T. Performance Podcast
With Walter Dusseldorp
Kylee joined Walter Dusseldorp, MBA, FACHE on the S.M.A.R.T. Performance Podcast to explore the science behind better decision-making.
The research across behavioural science and group intelligence is clear: when cognitive diversity is structured well, decisions improve. When it’s missing, blind spots compound — even in highly capable teams.
In this episode, Kylee shares:
-
Why leaders shouldn’t carry complex decisions alone
-
How structural bias quietly shapes outcomes
-
What practical steps organisations can take to strengthen decision design
-
Why understanding different decision profiles changes performance
A practical conversation on designing smarter decision rooms — not relying on instinct.

Shape your Message
Podcast
Melanie sits down with Kylee Ingram, CEO of Wizer Business, to explore Wizer Snaps, a smart communication tool that helps users tailor their messages based on decision profiles. They discuss how women often use the tool to prepare for meetings and craft messages with care, while men are increasingly using it for sales and business development. Pick up three practical steps to improve communication: understand the recipient's decision profile, lead with what they want to hear first, and be bold about your goals rather than chasing harmony. They also explore how the tool reframes difficult conversations around decision-making frameworks rather than emotional responses. Watch on youtube here
The Science of Yes
YTV
The Nonprofit Show — American Nonprofit Academy watch the episode here. Nonprofits send more messages than ever, yet many still miss the moment that matters: the decision. In this episode, Wizer’s Kylee Ingram explains how seven decision profiles—Achiever, Analyzer, Collaborator, Visionary, Explorer, Guardian, Deliverer—can transform fundraising emails, stewardship notes, and board communications with evidence-based messaging that matches how people actually decide
Adaptive Excellence
Book
A practical, evidence-based guide to building high-performing teams through better decision-making, systems thinking and wise-crowd principles. Adaptive Excellence by Melanie Marshall explores how leaders can reduce bias, improve execution and create sustainable performance at scale.
Chapter 5 is about Decisions — a sharp breakdown of why decisions get distorted (bias, silos, positional power) and how a “wise crowd” improves decision quality. It’s a useful lens on where Wizer fits: curating the right mix of voices and turning insight into action.
Better Decision Design
Podcast
Kylee Ingram joined the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body podcast to discuss decision science, cognitive diversity, and wise crowd research.
The conversation explores how better-designed decision-making can reduce stress at work, surface hidden insight, and improve organisational outcomes.

A Masterclass in Decision Design
Podcast
Why do intelligent, experienced teams consistently make poor choices? Join host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) with Kylee Ingram, founder and CEO of the decision-science platform Wizer.
We explore the hidden patterns of decision failure, the critical gap between how decisions should be made and what actually happens, and how to surface the hidden "decision talent" already within your team.
This masterclass help you understand how putting the right people in the room—intentionally—can reduce friction and dramatically improve outcomes. Watch on Youtube here
