Navigating the Science of Human Behaviour
Governments, businesses and individuals are all interested in behaviour change. It is relevant to all parties, for a range of different reasons, and has become increasingly important as the familiar methods of changing behaviour have been challenged. Certain governments are typically less willing to introduce legislation to curb individual behaviour, while the traditional levers of influence for brands, such as TV advertising, have weakened as media channels have proliferated.
At the same time, there is an increasing need to navigate change as we face significant challenges from trends such as climate change, digitisation, ageing populations, mass migration, and now, COVID-19.While the ultimate goal of many organisations inevitably relies on some form of behaviour change, it is only relatively recently that this has started to become a discipline in its own right.
