So often we learn about exciting evidence-based programs and bemoan how difficult and expensive it is to scale up best practices. By contrast, behavioral science offers research findings and design techniques that can be applied fairly easily, at little or no cost, to make a wide range of programs more effective. Typical behavioral design approaches use levers such as social norms, default settings, planning prompts, timely reminders, and hassle reduction to help people convert more of their intentions into actions.
Join us for a discussion of how local organizations are using these insights to enhance service delivery, client engagement, and civic participation.
