Editor's Notes

  1. Strategy and policy represent… Behavioural changes must be sustained!
  2. Tools adapted from commercial/trad marketing and applied to behavioural issues Concept or philosaphy – a way of approaching a specific issue focusing on the audience’s perspective.
  3. Anchors: % of African countries in the UN – two groups of people given two numbers – 10 and 65 – 10 group guessed 25% – 65 group guessed 45. Examples of phone numbers or social security. When we have limited information – we use anchor points. Heuristics: 9/11 example – people can remember when it happened, how many people died (2948) – not how many people died the same year from cigarettes (400,000) – but affected travel decisions, resulted in increased RTA deaths. Prospect: We value a loss at twice that of a gain – people expecting £60k and got £50k is not as happy as someone expecting £40k and gets £50k. Gambling metaphor. Applications: 30 day money back or try before you buy. Talk about GDP measurement model and flaws. Endowment effect: students sleeping out for tickets – “ikea effect”. Loss aversion and the status quo effect.

Loss aversion and the status quo effect.
  5. Customer or consumer orientation - A strong ‘customer’ orientation with importance attached to understanding where the customer is starting from, their knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, along with the social context in which they live and work. Behaviour and behavioural goals  - Clear focus on understanding existing behaviour and key influences upon it, alongside developing clear behavioural goals. These can be divided into actionable and measurable steps or stages, phased over time. 'Intervention mix' and 'marketing mix'  - Using a mix of different interventions or methods to achieve a particular behavioural goal. When used at the strategic level this is commonly referred to as the 'intervention mix', and when used operationally it is described as the 'marketing mix’. Audience segmentation - Clarity of audience focus using audience segmentation to target effectively. ‘ Exchange’ - Use of the ‘exchange’ concept – understanding what is being expected of  people, and the real cost to them. ‘ Competition’ - Use of the ‘competition’ concept. This means understanding factors that impact on people and that compete for their attention and time.
  6. Note: thanks to Jeff French for this fantastic example!
  7. 6.9 billion people on the planet – 6 billion decision makers making 100s of decisions a day – but short of time and with limited information. Becoming mainstream, reflected in party manifestos and policy making.
  8. Why we smoke, drink, have unprotected sex, play the lottery, gamble with other people’s money.
