Welcome to “The Five-Second Project”!

A cross-disciplinary collaboration to understand and develop in-the-moment decision-making for professionals in education, medicine, nursing, business, policing, leadership, and other fields.

“This talented international group has now launched a global effort to enhance how health services, education, business, and policing play out every day in practice – in the myriad daily judgment calls professionals make,” said Johanek. “These on-the-ground judgment calls determine whether our ambitions for a better world actually pan out – and I’m excited about the enormous possibilities to powerfully improve performance across so many fields.”
