Workshop: “How do your users' make decisions? Learn about the
irrational decisions we all make and practice designing innovative
solutions with your new behavioral economics knowledge”
Duration: 4 hours
Number of assistants: 30 people
Conducted by: Kristen Berman
Assisted by: Bella Rozenkrants
Description
This workshop will change how you think about developing products and services that
impact people’s lives. At the end, you will be able to take a problem and design solutions
for it that are in line with human psychology and behavior change research.
Step by step, this workshop will walk you through the core elements of behavioral
economics and how to apply these principles to new and existing products and services.
Methodology
We will start with an introduction to behavioral economics that covers why we should
not trust our intuitions, how small details (surprisingly) matter and why our preferences
are never finite.
After understanding basic user psychology, you will learn a framework that will help you
build more innovative products by focusing on increasing benefits and reducing barriers
to usage. Within the workshop, we will challenge participants to use this framework to
solve real problems.
Outputs
At the end of the workshop, you will have tools to:
• Optimize product adoption and growth.
• Build engaging products that people want to use.
•
•
Grow a base of loyal customers that love you.
Increase the perception of value for new and existing products.
Throughout the course of the day, we will cover the science of behavior change and
allow participants to get hands on practice in this new way of thinking. Prepare for a
hands-on workshop with a lot of fun interaction and practical application.
