Behavioral Science for L&D

In L&D, it can be challenging to pinpoint the behaviors that truly need to change and to find solutions that go beyond standard training. This program explores how behavioral science can help you identify key behaviors, overcome barriers, and design effective strategies for lasting impact.

Once we've identified the behaviors we want to target, the next step, contrary to popular practice, is not to jump into defining solutions. In this session we will take the time to understand the broader context, diagnose behavioral barriers and enablers, to create more targeted interventions and strategies.

The course was really well structure and because of the overall format I felt that I had enough time to ask questions, I didn’t feel rushed when I did. The expertise of the facilitators was amazing and I was positively surprised by the amount of interaction in our private slack group, and how Sam and Roos answered all our questions and gave us feedback quickly.

The experience with the course was overall very good. Behavioral Science is such a relevant topic and the facilitators brought great insights. They also created a really open and good environment, and I liked how they managed the home assignments in the Miro board, and that we could always ask questions and they would be answered by Sam or Roos.

Everything was super interesting! I had just some basic knowledge about behavioral science but it was amazing to learn from Sam and Roos who are experts in the field. I particularly loved the Drivers and Barries of Behavior Change part, it was a great exercise that I’m actually going to use in a workshop that I’m preparing for my managers.
