Understanding Behavioural Influence

This full day workshop is designed for people who want to learn how to influence the behaviours of others, for positive change.

The morning session will provide you with introductory understandings of ‘system 1 and 2’ thinking, with the provision of tools and examples to support your ability to influence people to change their behaviours for the better, whether in public health, the environment or to address social challenges. We will draw on leading theoretical and applied models of psychology, behavioural sciences and behavioural economics, and brainstorm how to apply them to decode behavioural influence and solve behavioural problems.

We will examine how to define behaviours and establish clear behavioural goals, and briefly touch on behavioural selection.

In the afternoon, participants will take part in a hands-on interactive session where they apply the components of The BCC’s Behavioural Framework to a shared behavioural problem and brainstorm how to select the right intervention levers from behavioural data. Participants will then have the opportunity to further practice the process of behavioural diagnosis, beginning with a focus on defining and selecting behaviours and writing clear behavioural goals.

The workshop will also provide participants with an overview of behavioural and audience segmentation, the levers mix for intervention design, and how to identify which levers to apply.

Who should attend

This training is for anyone keen to learn how to influence others to achieve positive change. Attendees typically come from local and state government, non-profits, charities, social enterprises and/or academia.
