A straightforward, hands-on introduction to the Behaviour-In-Systems approach.

By completing the course, participants will be able to:   

• Distinguish between simple, complicated and complex problems   
• Describe the outcomes, actors, behaviours and influences in any complex system
• Describe the process of running a Behaviour in Systems project 
• Use behavioural science models (including the COMB model) to understand what drives key behaviours 
• Understand the basic features of a Behaviour-In-Systems map, including causal links and feedback loops  
• Interpret existing causal loop diagrams (systems maps) 
• Identify the most promising leverage points to bring about change within a complex system

• Delivered online  
• 5 short modules combining brief inputs, practical exercises, group work and worked examples   
• Option to use your own live challenges as cases, tailored to your context (e.g. workforce, service design, inequalities, sustainability)   

• People responsible for designing, implementing or reforming programmes, services or strategies and systems
• Behavioural insights, public health and improvement professionals and teams
• Change management, organisational improvement, and transformation professionals
• Academics and researchers looking for a systematic approach to integrating behavioural and systems theories and methods
• Anyone who regularly hears the word “complex” and wants better tools 
• Systems thinkers who want to leverage the power of behavioural science
