About
Matthew Syed represented Great Britain in table tennis at two Olympic Games and was the country's number one player for nearly a decade. He wrote "Bounce" on the science of success and "Black Box Thinking" on how organizations learn from failure.
As a columnist for The Times, Matthew covers sports, politics, and performance. His keynotes explore why some people and organizations thrive while others plateau-drawing on cognitive science, deliberate practice, and the counterintuitive importance of failure.
