Behavioral economics overview presentation at TGASKurt Nelson, PhD
The following was the presentation that I gave at the TGAS conference in Texas this spring. Highlighting some of the behavioral science principles that can be used to help improve your incentives and sales operations.
How to convince your boss to use insights and strategies from Behavioral Econ...beworks
Behavioral Economics has revolutionized our understanding of decision making.
We now know that humans are far from perfectly rational. Instead, there are psychological biases that strongly influence people’s choices.
The result is a more accurate prediction of human behavior, which can facilitate desirable business outcomes.
Once you understand the drivers of behavior, you can change behavior.
This deck accompanied Kelly Baron's SXSW talk on 3/13/17. Nudge theory is about hacking human nature using subtle, context-driven interventions. We all sometimes buy into the shampoo commercial dream that our products can make us into better people, but what if that were true?
Thanks to IoT, we’re designing products that make and break our habits. We applied nudge theory to our healthcare wearable, Under Currents, to solve billions of dollars’ worth of medical errors and save lives. When common sense fails, common sensors help us be the best version of ourselves.
Join Kelly Baron, a business designer from Fjord Austin, as she talks about how to apply nudge theory theory to digital experiences.
This is a presentation that covers the basic concepts of the book Nudge, by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. We read this book at our UX Book Club meeting, and I presented an introduction to it at the LA IxDA meeting.
What is the Nudge Theory?
A mixure of beavourial economics, psychology, political theory, marketing and sales. Its the theory that considers how people make decisions – and how others impact them.
If you’ve ever worked with teams trying to solve complex problems, at some point in your career seen them jump too quickly into solutions, seen decisions being made only on assumptions (that ended up being wrong), or not being clear what problem they were trying to solve in the first place
In this session at UX India 2021, we dive on Problem Framing and Reframing, with useful tips to:
- Ensure you’re solving the right problems.
- Raise the awareness around decision biases that prevent us from digging deeper.
- Look outside the frame before considering the details.
- Use lateral thinking to disrupt stagnant thought sequences.
- Challenge you to reframe problems

Behaviour change is the measurable outcome of good UX design. Here's a review of a few design techniques and processes to help UX designers to create sustainable behaviour change.

A review of the behavioral economics concept of the paradox of choice where some choice is good, but too much choice creates paralysis and dissatisfaction
UXWeek 2015 - Designing for Behavior ChangeStephen Wendel
These are the full slides from my 3.5 hour workshops at UX Week 2015 - on how to design products that use behavioral economics and psychology to overcome obstacles and help users take action.
Most people are born creative. As children, we revel in imaginary play, ask outlandish questions, draw blobs and call them dinosaurs. But over time, because of socialization and formal education, a lot of us start to stifle those impulses. We learn to be warier of judgment, more cautious, more analytical. The world seems to divide into “creatives” and “noncreatives,” and too many people consciously or unconsciously resign themselves to the latter category.
And yet we know that creativity is essential to success in any discipline or industry. According to a recent IBM survey of chief executives around the world, it’s the most sought-after trait in leaders today. No one can deny that creative thinking has enabled the rise and continued success of countless companies, from start-ups like Facebook and Google to stalwarts like Procter & Gamble and General Electric.
In this presentation you will discover why you lost your creative confidence—the natural ability to come up with new ideas and the courage to try them out, and how to restore it back.
Studying Simon Sinek: Start With the Golden CircleChiara Ojeda
Most of us communicate from the outside in, but author Simon Sinek believes true inspiration comes when we start with why. This brief introduction to The Golden Circle is a teaching tool used in class.
The purpose of this two-day workshop was to help marketers build successful multichannel strategies that connect with customers in increasingly meaningful ways across discreet yet interconnected channels. Specifically it focuses on how to: 1) develop a 360 view of customers to inform a channel architecture strategy, 2) deliver personally relevant information through a compelling content and contact strategy, 3) align channels through brand strategy to create a cohesive user experience, 4) integrate measurement across channels for business performance enhancement, and 5) create internal infrastructure and readiness systems that equip organizations to coordinate effective responses to customer needs.
Have you been looking for perspective on how to better understand the world of social entrepreneurship?

The Value Proposition Canvas vs. The 1-Minute Value Proposition Act: A BETTER...Rod King, Ph.D.
“Customers Deserve the Best Products, Services, and Tools to Help Them Delightfully Get Their Jobs Done”
Wouldn’t it be great if we so deeply understand customers that we could accurately predict customers’ adoption, hiring, and buying decisions? Then, no startup or established business would build products, services, and tools that customers do not want or buy. Waste in business and the dismal failure of startups would be eliminated. Newly launched products, services, and tools would achieve Product-Market fit in no time. And … gainful employment, generated income, and standard of living would be higher. But, why do we not have this paradise especially in the world of entrepreneurship and startups?
My main hypothesis is that currently, business management is largely an art the mastery and tacit knowledge of which reside with a few practitioners such as the late Steve Jobs. Business management is still a blackbox: we know what goes in and what comes out of business. However, we have yet to fully figure out and accurately model how the inside of a business’s blackbox interacts with the environment at present as well as in future.
In the past, the main tools for systematically planning, launching, and building products, services, and organizations was the voluminous and rigid business plan. In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment, the voluminous and rigid business plan is increasingly considered inappropriate. New tools are emerging to replace the business plan especially in the world of startups. This article focuses on tools that facilitate the achievement of Product-Market Fit since Product-Market fitness is considered the greatest risk to having a repeatable and scalable business model and consequently, a profitable and enduring organization.
In this presentation, two tools are presented that focus on achieving Product-Market Fit. One is Alexander Osterwalder’s Value Proposition Canvas (VPC) while the other is my 1-Minute Value Proposition Act (VPA). Both the VPC and 1-Minute VPA are modules of a business model (story). The VPC focuses on the “Job-To-Be-Done” as a unit of analysis while the 1-Minute VPA considers a “customer’s trade-off and decision-making” as the unit of analysis.
In the presentation, elements of the VPC and 1-Minute VPA are considered and examined within the context of a case study. The aim is to enable readers which include entrepreneurs and startups to compare and contrast the two tools with a view to making informed decisions while trying to achieve Product-Market Fit for newly launched products, services, and organizations. As the quote at the beginning says: “Customers Deserve the Best Products, Services, and Tools to Help Them Delightfully Get Their Jobs Done.”

We've analyzed tons of disruptive players when we were writing our book on Digital Transformation. We discovered 7 similarities and call them "The 7 Metaphors of Digital Disruption". We saw that all the disruptors score high on these drivers of transformation while traditional players have trouble with these metaphors. The new players are attacking you on every level.
How can you defend your business from these new players in your market? You should learn how they operate and try to implement (elements of) the business models of disruptive companies.
We've made a presentation that guides you through ten business models of hyper disruptors that we found inspiring. We hope you do too. Please let us know your thoughts about it!

I love marketing. I hate marketing.
Marketing can be annoying as hell. But it can also be meaningful and authentic. It can do nice things. Even good things. The brand utility is an example. With this guide, I hope to inspire brands to do good.
I made it quite extensive as I give you many examples of how things can be.
Not every case is a perfect example, many are merely a first step. Please look at the diversity of the all approaches, the ambition they represent and, most importantly, the next steps they can take.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
