The practical science of accelerating transformation and making change stick.

Most organisations focus on telling people what needs to change, but awareness and information alone don't drive behaviour. This session reveals the science behind why we resist change, and the practical levers leaders can pull to make new behaviours stick. Using real-world case studies and interactive examples, Dr Emily Heath shows how to design behaviour change initiatives that work with human psychology, not against it.

Drawing on behavioural science and over 15 years' experience designing large-scale behaviour change initiatives, Emily shows audiences how to move beyond awareness, information and good intentions, and create the conditions that make meaningful change last.

Audiences leave with concrete tools they can apply immediately: how to reduce friction in decision-making, build motivation through small wins, and create environments where better actions are the easy choice. This is particularly valuable for leaders managing organisational transformation, culture shifts, or large-scale performance improvement.

Audience Takeaways:

• Understand the gap between intention and action, and how to close it using behavioural science
• Learn practical tools to reduce friction and build momentum for new behaviours
• Recognise the hidden barriers derailing behaviour change initiatives, and how to design around them
• Apply evidence-based strategies to make behaviour change faster, easier and stickier
