My professional interests are widespread, and include Business Strategy, Competitive Intelligence, Decision making, the Human Mind, Cognition, Cognitive bias, Collaborative intelligence, Organizational studies, and Complex systems. My hobbies and non work related interests cover Old Music, Photography, Science, Renewable energy, Number Theory, Afrikaner History, Philosophy, Ideologies, Theology, Belief, Faith, Truth, and Christianity.

The username Jan Tik comes from an Afrikaans rhyme learned in my youth.
