Dr. Dyedra Morrissey
Founder & Director Dyedra is a scientist, academic and consultant based in Oxford. She completed her DPhil, MSc and BA in Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford and is currently working with the Saïd Business School and at Pembroke College, Oxford.
Her interdisciplinary work focuses on Time Management, the Psychology of Time Perception and the Science of Forecasting. Her research especially investigates the psychological and situational variables underlying "The Planning Fallacy", a term coined by Kahneman and Tversksy in 1977, which describes the well-known phenomenon that people often underestimate the time it will take them to complete a task. Dyedra’s research explores the reasons and possible solutions for this phenomenon from everyday-life to large-scale business projects that have often been prone to time and cost over-runs. Her research shows that the one of the most important variables contributing to the “Planning Fallacy” is control. Her consultancy work uses these and other insights from her research to advise public and private sector clients on time management, forecasting and schedule delay prevention/mitigation. Dyedra has also been teaching at the University of Oxford for the past four years. She lectures on the science of forecasting and planning, the psychology of time perception, and research methods as part of the executive MSc Major Project Management and Custom Executive Education academies at the Saïd Business School Oxford. She is also affiliated with Pembroke College where she is a lecturer in Study Skills and Time Management for undergraduates. |
While a DPhil student Dyedra won 2nd place in the University of Oxford 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition and represented Oxford at the national 3MT Semi-Finals. Below you can see her winning presentation.
