Those of who work in learning and development like to think we're in the business of behavior change. But we often don't have an in-depth understanding of what current behaviors are, or how to change them.
In this week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner is joined by Ross Dickie and Dr Anna Barnett to discuss:
-
methods for understanding behavior;
-
digital learning methods for changing behavior;
-
methods for measuring change.
During the discussion, Ross Garner described the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Ross Dickie mentioned libertarian paternalism, very much a friend-of-the-show.
Anna referenced the COM-B model of behavior change.
In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Anna recommended a presentation from the Behavioral Insights Team, and Ross G referenced his video on nudge theory.
Ross Dickie discussed Jevon’s paradox, based on Satya Nadella’s tweet about Chinese AI firm DeepSeek.
And Ross Garner recommended a thread on X, where famous movie scenes are recreated as Lego.
