My talks, presentations and workshops for public and private sector clients make behavioural economics (BE) accessible, enjoyable, applicable, useful – and are suitable for non-economists. I show how BE can aid decision-making for service providers and service users, producing better outcomes in fields such as:
- health: for clinicians, commissioners and health professionals
- business, from finance to general management
- regulation and consumer protection
- the third sector, for managers in charities and non-profits
- sustainability, including the economics (and more) of carfree life
