Cognitive Consultants International (CCI-HQ) specializes in taking a cognitive neuro-scientific approach to applied real-world consultancy and research. In a nutshell, that means that we apply our knowledge and understanding of the human brain and cognitive system to resolve practical problems and human factors issues in the real world. Science magazine published a feature detailing some our work: "The Bias Hunter: Itiel Dror" (13 May 2022, pp. 686-690).
CCI-HQ provides consultancy, scientific research, expert witness, and training that focuses on cognitive and human factors, decision making and performance. The work is led by Dr Itiel Dror and associate consultants, who examine areas such as continuous professional development, improving decision making, and use of technology through scientific understanding of human cognition, applied to healthcare, business, HR, L&D, banking, forensic science, policing, and other expert domains (as well as to everyday decision making, such as marketing and branding).
See, for example, papers published in Science (e.g., implicit cognitive biases and also 'Explore blind testing to prevent errors - get practical about fighting cognitive bias'), in The Economist (e.g., 'Ignorance is bliss'), and in Nature (e.g., 'Science in court: Courage of conviction' and 'The Fine Print'), that focus on Dr Dror's work on decision making and cognitive bias. See also a brief to the Houses of Parliament, and other publications (cited over 13,000 times -source Google Scholar).
