Ben Goodheart, PhD

FOUNDER + Principal Consultant

I founded Magpie Human Systems as a way to focus on the foundational issues that most of us deal with in our careers as we work to create safe, resilient, and sustainable organizations.

My career started in aviation in the early 1990s, and I have since worked with a wildly diverse group of clients, ranging from coal mines to regulators, railroads to airlines, and utility companies to hospitals.

My passion is making the best organizational science and practice accessible to organizations of all sizes. I love unraveling complex systems and getting hands-on with our clients and the systems that folks work in.

Magpie isn’t one person, though, and I am fortunate to be surrounded by an incredible team of consultants in fifteen countries and across industries.
