Livia Bernardini has spent more than two decades helping global organisations make better decisions at the intersection of brand, strategy, technology, and human judgement.
She has led complex transformation programmes for organisations including McKinsey, Deloitte, L'Oréal, Barclays, Dyson, Ferrari, and Unilever, advising boards and C-suite leaders across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East. Alongside her advisory work, Livia guest lectures at Hult International Business School and has featured in publications including Forbes, Fortune, and the Telegraph and writes her weekly newsletter, Intuition Edge.
Livia's central argument- that intuition is not instinct or guesswork, but pattern recognition that can be trained- is grounded in neuroscience and two decades of operational experience. Her frameworks, including the Decision Making Grid and SPACE methodology, give leaders a practical way to integrate analytical data, AI output, and human sensing into decisions that hold under pressure.
Audiences leave Livia's sessions with a science-backed understanding of how intuition works and why it matters more as AI expands, practical tools for stress-testing AI output and knowing when to trust it, and a shared decision-making language that aligns teams around judgement and accountability.
Book Livia to give your leaders a trainable approach to intuition and a more disciplined, accountable way to decide in the age of AI.
Topics, sessions and talks
In the age of AI, decision-making has become more demanding, not less. Livia Bernardini shows leaders why intuition remains critical as AI reshapes what we see and analyse. Drawing on two decades advising boards and C-suite leaders, she argues that discernment and accountability, not more data, separate good decisions from lucky ones. Livia helps audiences integrate intuitive signals with data and AI insight rather than treating them as rivals.
This working session, led by Livia Bernardini, turns sensing into a shared, disciplined input that sits alongside data and AI rather than competing with it. Built around the team's live decisions and AI use cases, it gives leaders a trainable approach to intuition, treated as signal rather than opinion or bias. Participants sharpen judgement under uncertainty, stress-test AI output, and use AI more intentionally while keeping ownership of the decision.
