Behaviour First Change
Helping our clients reach their organisational goals, one nudge at a time
Any organisational transformation, whether it is implementing systems, redesigning processes, driving cultural change or restructuring businesses, is ultimately about changing behaviour.
But sustaining this change is highly challenging.
As traditional change approaches rely on training and communication, they do not always adapt behaviour sustainably, because they overlook the drivers of behaviour. Before starting a transformation journey, we need to truly understand behaviour by thinking and talking about it. In other words, we need to put behaviour first.

FIRST Framework
The key concepts of heuristics and biases and their essential role in behavioural interventions are key to our approach to understanding and changing behaviour.
The FIRST Framework establishes the key drivers of behaviour in an organisation and identifies which to use in behavioural interventions. These drivers are classified into five main categories that represent the FIRST Framework: Fundamentals, Incentives, Relationships, Stories, and Tools. Each category is supported by tried-and-true behavioural science theories and best practices.
