Brian R. Spisak workshop

I leverage data, science, and tech to build a thriving workforce in healthcare. 🔥

I'm a consultant, best-selling author, and scholar affiliated with Harvard’s National Preparedness Leadership Initiative and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Drawing from my diverse expertise and 15+ years of experience, I empower leaders and their organizations to reach new heights, revolutionizing their approach to decision-making and positioning them for success in the age of AI.

📚 My new book, Computational Leadership - Connecting Behavioral Science and Technology to Optimize Decision-Making and Increase Profits, is an essential read for leading in an AI-powered world.

🚀 It's a practical guide for creating next-level outcomes in everything from DEI and engagement to crisis management and sustainability, with interviews from leaders at IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, and more.

👇 The Long Version 👇

Application

I develop leaders and teams that leverage behavioral science, data, and technology. Together, we navigate the choppy waters of disruption, boost innovation, and realize sustainable growth.

Using a digital mindset, I work on a broad range of leadership projects. For example, I help:

✅️ drive the digital transformation of healthcare,

✅️ develop effective crisis leadership,

✅️ coordinate human and social capital for next-level performance,

✅️ strengthen employee engagement and well-being,

✅️ increase DEI by separating biased wants from actual needs in hiring and promotion.

I work with a wide range of private and public sector partners to turbocharge performance, including Pfizer, PwC, NATO, and the US Office of Naval Research.

Research

I publish high-quality research about leadership and group dynamics in top journals including Academy of Management Review, Harvard Business Review, Psychological Science, and The Leadership Quarterly.

You’ll also find my work featured in outlets such as Forbes, Popular Science, TIME, and The Washington Post.

I’m a pioneering contributor to "Evolutionary Psychology and Leadership"—the study of why and how leadership evolves in groups and how leaders can use this adaptive process to guide purposeful change.

I also introduced "Computational Leadership Science"—an applied science incorporating psychology, cutting-edge technology, and time-honored leadership principles. It’s the playbook for leading digital transformation. 💪

Let’s Work Together

I’m always looking for new opportunities.
