Analytical depth.
Practical judgement.

Saeed Andalib leads OzLeap. His path runs through both industry and academia: fifteen years working on major investment decisions, risk and delivery; a PhD in decision making under uncertainty; and more than a thousand people trained, including in the University of Sydney’s Strategic Risk Management program.

He is most at home where the picture is incomplete — where assumptions hide in plain sight, trade-offs are unavoidable, and the “obvious” answer often breaks later.

Analysis and judgement usually sit in different people. The value is in having both: enough depth to model a problem properly, enough judgement to know when the model has told you all it can, and enough awareness of how people actually decide to make the answer stick.
