IE Talks in London: Business & Its Role in Sustainable Behaviour Change

Behaviour change is central to any successful business. Every organisation wants to change someone's behaviour - customers, consumers or employees. Understanding how businesses can support our drive towards a more sustainable future thus cannot be overstated.

 

This session will be led by Dr. Guy Champniss, a highly recognised behaviour scientist and strategist. He will delve into the importance of business in driving forward the sustainability agenda and explore leading models that can help us within our organisations to understand, predict and shape behaviours. From the Theory of Planned Behaviour to the COM-B behaviour change framework and motivational theory, he will spend time discussing how these models have the potential to be vital tools and critical catalysts that can support and fuel change-makers and entrepreneurs as they build and launch successful ventures to drive sustainable change.

 

Join us in this exciting masterclass that will introduce and discuss key pieces of academic theory within what is a highly participative and conversational format.
