Kick-Off Workshop
“We all want explanations for why we
behave as we do and for the ways the world
around us functions.” -Dan Ariely
We like to begin each partnership with a kick-off workshop. This workshop brings in key stakeholders to
get everyone up to speed on the partnership and core behavioral science principles.
OUR APPROACH
Research suggests that learning is maximized when it’s fun, interactive,
and hands-on.... like our workshops!
Shared Language
At the workshop, we first create a foundational
understanding of the behavioral sciences by using
narratives and storytelling to illustrate the research.
Solution Design
Then, we practice identifying and applying behavioral
principles directly to the partner’s existing products and
services.
Research Plan
Participants get tools and ideas for how to begin applying
behavioral principles in their work and their lives, as the
partnership moves forward.
