ChangeAble Behaviour Solutions

“In behavioural science, there’s a simple formula: B = C + O + M. If we want B-ehaviour to change, we need to create effective C-apability, O-pportunity, and M-otivation. For decades, campaigns have focused on building Capability and Motivation, pushing information campaigns and emphasising individual responsibility and willpower as the key to changing our food habits. But intentions alone aren’t enough. Opportunities to develop healthy eating habits need to be supported by a food environment that makes eating nutritious food easy and attractive rather than a constant battle of willpower.” Today’s article in the Irish Daily Mail might be the first time that the #COM-B model has made it to the mainstream Irish newspapers. This is part of a series of insights that we at ChangeAble Behaviour Solutions are producing in partnership with safefood to highlight the need for a change in our #foodenvironments #behaviouralscience #COM-B #Food #ChangeAble

“There hasn’t been a mass failure in willpower over the past 30 years, or a dramatic change in our genetic make-up, but the food that surrounds us is different and our opportunities to be physically active have changed dramatically.” As a parent this concerns me. As an applied behaviour scientist, I see this as one of the many key areas we can effect change with a #systemsframe approach. Diet-related disease is now the biggest cause of preventable illness & death in the developed world. Obesity in both adults and children remains one of the greatest public health issues we face, with short and long-term consequences for our population. Our food environment has been recognized by the World Health Organisation (WHO 2022), among others, as one of the main causes of the current global obesity problem. Expecting people to change their own behaviour to a healthier one is not enough and just not possible anymore. This is why safefood have launched their #foodenvironment campaign focusing on the impact our food environments; shop layout, marketing, special offers etc have on ours and our children’s food choices. I was proud to join Aileen McGloin Norah Campbell & Donal O’Shea to launch the campaign ably chaired by Philip Boucher-Hayes. You will hear me talk a lot about this on the coming months as one of their #trustedvoices on this series.

🧠 How often do you think about the decisions you make in your life? We all have unconscious decision-making processes that help us get through the day. But what if those processes aren't working for us? 🩲 Consider the simple act of choosing underwear in the morning - clean, unripped, and available are the critical criteria. But what about the bigger decisions in our lives, like our careers, relationships, and daily habits? 🤷♂️ How do you tackle change and make these decisions? 📺 I recently discussed this topic on one of my Behavioural Science segments on Virgin Media Television, and the feedback has been exceptional from individuals and organisations. I’ll post further segments on change over the coming days.
