Highlights from our latest #BehaviouralSpeaking meetup. The topic for the evening was 'the application of behavioural science within large organisations'.

We are getting stuck into the nuts and bolts of running behavioural science/BI teams within large (public and private sector) organisations at our #BehaviourallySpeaking meetup this evening.
Researchers and practitioners, I'd like your take on where we should focus attention:
We have our next installment of the Behaviourally Speaking meetup this Wednesday. If you're in Cape Town and interested in applied behavioural science it would be great to see you there. Details and sign up here: https://t.co/murevyeS56

#BI4Gov Day 2 will focus on using the BASIC toolkit for applying BI to. Public Policy. I look forward to linking Enlightened Introspection to developing Environmental Empathy.
Another great point by @david_yokum on how to get people to accept evidence generated by #BehaviouralInsights?
Simple: Inclusion. Get people involved from the beginning to reduce motivated reasoning to make the conclusion they want

Getting people to save water or use less electricity is hard. Governments often just turn to things like rate hikes and posters. Understanding Behavioural Insights can help shape policy in a way that makes it easy and compelling to do the right thing. #BI4Gov
Excited to be part of the first BI Conference on African soil. Many great minds and hearts in the room. And we all want to solve society’s biggest behavioral challenges #BI4Gov
So excited to be in the room with so many awesome humans... People of this caliber + behavioural insights = effective and durable solutions to policy challenges! Let’s do this! #BI4Gov@gravityideas@WesternCapeGov
Gravity is hiring!

Even if we're well aware that our past plans were optimistic, we remain convinced that our current plans are wholly realistic. Meet the planning fallacy (via @gravityideas) https://t.co/LV5XhtA1u5
Some of my key takeouts from #BX2018 .
I'll try to consolidate these threads into a more structured and coherent article when I get some time/recovered fully from the jet lag. Let me know what you find interesting/useful. (Thread 1 of 2) 🖌️🎨: @simonbankscrea8
