What does behavior change require? -a systematic and evidence based approach -it requires us to look at the models, theories and frameworks and see which ones will make the most sense for the projects we are working on -it requires us to frame the challenge or opportunity in behavioral terms and to make sure we are accounting for the context in which we are working on -it requires us to understand the needs -it requires us to take into account factors like culture -it requires us to create a thorough analysis of the drivers of the behaviors and related behaviors we are working on (using a behavioral model) -it requires us to go beyond the individual and to account for the system -it requires us to select techniques and strategies that are backed by evidence -it requires us to mix methods and to borrow and draw from other disciplines like design, so we can translate the strategies into proper solutions -it requires us to evaluate and account for unintended consequences If you want to learn to design for behavior why not take Robert Meza course: https://lnkd.in/e9vQvuDG Get 20% off with code: STUDENT20
This handwritten note is still one of my favourite assets you and Robert have posted! Not to say that the hundreds of free Miro resources aren't awesomely helpful - to which a lot of us are extremely grateful for and use them regularly in our own work, but there's something raw and thoughtful about the handwritten list...without any signs of AI generated interventions...🚀 Thanks to you both! Eternally.
