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:

“Is it a behavioural problem or a technological problem?” An important question to ask before engaging with a project. @Peguha #BI4Gov

[Gravity @gravityideas]

We are just as excited as you are @Andrew_Rand! Ready for day two at #BI4Gov

[Andrew Rand @Andrew_Rand]

#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.

Some wise words from @FilippoCavassi1 at #BI4Gov

[Gravity @gravityideas]

A great insight - thanks for sharing @JamesRDrummond! #BI4Gov #Behaviouralinsights

[James Drummond @JamesRDrummond]

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

“Your understanding of human behaviour is crucial in designing the right policy interventions” - @akamish #BI4Gov

[Gravity @gravityideas]

@DaveDuarte we couldn't agree more! #BI4Gov

[Dave Duarte @DaveDuarte]

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

[Johann Van Der Nest @JohannvdNest]

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

[Gravity @gravityideas]

We couldn't have said it better ourselves @helenzille #BI4Gov

We're so excited for the two days of learning ahead! #BI4Gov #BehaviouralInsightsConference2018

[Seb Thompson @sebthompson]

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

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
