BEYOND THE BOARDROOM

The same system errors that distort talent decisions in organizations also shape outcomes in education, healthcare, and public institutions.

These systems rely on standardized assumptions about intelligence, behavior, and performance — often with significantly higher human and economic cost.

This perspective informs my public work, without replacing rigor with advocacy or complexity with ideology.

Understanding the system comes first. Only then can meaningful change follow.

- Henriette Ovidia

Public platforms

I use selected public platforms to test, challenge, and refine system-level assumptions.

This work runs parallel to my organizational work.
