Gain the skills to motivate positive behaviour change
On this three-week course, you’ll gain the skills to push for positive behavioural change in your work place.
Guided by Paul Dolan, Professor of Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science, you’ll learn how to promote positive behaviour change in your employees through effective incentives.
Through an exploration of incentivisation, default behaviours, and commitment, you’ll learn how you can use this understanding to motivate positive behaviour change in both your employees and customers.
Explore different types of incentives
To help you choose the right incentive for your context, you’ll explore the different types, such as financial and pro-social, and assess the success of each incentive in affecting behaviour change.
Next, you’ll learn the difference between incentives and commitments and explore how you could use commitment pledges to change behaviour in the workplace.
Discover the role of mental accounting
You’ll be introduced to reference points and mental accounting to understand how they affect the success of your incentives.
Through this exploration, you’ll discover how they exert influence and why they work so effectively in anything from pension choices to hospital care.
Understand key learnings in behavioural science
By the end of the course, you’ll understand the behavioural economic factors that can influence your employees and customers.
