FAQs
In your daily work, you’re forced to make a lot of decisions that anticipate how your customers (and colleagues!) will behave. You may be designing a new feature or creating a marketing campaign. You may be setting the vision and roadmap for the whole product.
Implicit in all of these decisions are assumptions you are making about human behavior. Behavioral science is your short cut. There are thousands of academic papers that study decision-making. If you’re not paying attention to this massive knowledge base, you’re likely going to misfire on some things – and the worst part is – because you’re moving so quickly through decisions, you may never even realize how good things could have been.
This course is an intensive 2-day fire hose that will help you better understand how your customers make decisions, the tools behavioral scientists use and how you can apply it to your job to be a stronger leader. The longer courses are able to go deeper on the complexities of human behavior, experimental design and give you a better chance to practice the toolset.
Because almost all of your professional decisions require some knowledge of how and why people do what they do, we do expect this 2-day course to infiltrate your mindset on most things you tackle in the future. This course is for you if you’re ready for that kind of change.
