featured CONSULTANTS
Gina Bennett
Gina is a member of the CIA's Senior Analytic Service, working as senior counterterrorism adviser at the National Counterterrorism Center. A deeply seasoned analyst and counterterrorism specialist, Gina authored the earliest warnings of some of today's terrorism trends, including the 1993 report that warned of the growing danger of Osama Bin Laden and the extremist movement he was fomenting. Her analysis has been called "prescient," "genius" and "prophetic" by major media and former government officials.
Gina has helped organizations structure their approach to mitigating common biases — the mental shortcuts created over time to speed up thinking — by first identifying the scenarios that propel them into action and silently work against objective decision making. Using simple "back-of-the-envelope" techniques to neutralize the potential harm such biases can cause, companies can achieve confidence in the rigor and ethics of their leadership and cultural evolution.
