Decision Intelligence, Cognitive Diversity & Group Dynamics - Kylee Ingram | Ep 296

In this episode of TheIferia TechCast, Ezekiel Iferia sits down with Kylee Ingram, award-winningdocumentary director, participatory media technologist, and co-founder/CEO ofWizer (wizer.business). Drawing on an unconventional trajectory that spansdirecting documentaries broadcast in over 100 countries to pioneeringinteractive "Crowd TV" formats and heading production in a techaccelerator, Kylee bridges collective intelligence with organizational decisionscience. Incorporating the research of Dr. Juliet Bourke (Which Two Heads Are Better Than One?), Kylee breaksdown the mechanics of "putting a decision scientist in the room." Weexplore the three systemic biases that sabotage corporate outcomes (social,information, and capacity bias), why cognitive diversity drives a 30% reductionin decision error and a 20% boost in innovation, how 75% of Western executivessuffer from "cognitive drift," and how their new tool, Wizer Snaps,maps decision profiles to dramatically lift communication and donor responserates.
