Self-Paced Course

Stop guessing why your change initiative isn't working


A structured method for diagnosing behavioural barriers, designing matched interventions, and building implementation strategies that actually shift the target behaviour

2 hours self-paced

5 modules with activities

Lifetime access

Workbook included


You've launched a change initiative. Maybe it's a new process, a compliance requirement, a digital tool, a safety behaviour. You've done the comms. You've run the training. Leadership is behind it.

And the behaviour hasn't changed.

Not because people are lazy or resistant. Because the initiative was designed around an outcome, not a behaviour. The barrier was assumed, not diagnosed. And the intervention doesn't match what's actually in the way.

This course gives you a repeatable method for getting that right.

The Method

Five stages. One strategic method

Deep Dive

Specify

Most initiatives fail before they start because they target an outcome ("improve safety culture") instead of a specific behaviour. You'll learn to define exactly who needs to do what, where, when, and how often. Then you'll use a prioritisation method to decide which behaviour to focus on first when there are competing options.

You'll leave with: a precisely defined target behaviour and a clear rationale for why it's the right starting point.

Deep Dive

Hypothesise

Once you know the behaviour, you need to know what's blocking it. Is it a skill gap? A process barrier? A motivation problem? This module gives you a structured diagnostic for identifying the actual barrier rather than guessing. You'll work through a two-step process: brainstorm every possible reason, then systematically score which barriers matter most and which are most changeable.

You'll leave with: a ranked list of barriers for your initiative, scored by impact and ease of change.

You'll leave with: a precisely defined target behaviour and a clear rationale for why it's the right starting point.

Deep Dive

Intervene

The most common mistake: designing an intervention that doesn't match the barrier. Training for a motivation problem. Incentives for a capability gap. This module teaches you how to select from a taxonomy of proven intervention techniques and match them to your diagnosed barrier. You'll also learn the critical difference between designing for the moment someone decides and the moment someone acts.

You'll leave with: a matched intervention designed for the specific barrier you diagnosed, with a plan for when and where it reaches the target audience.

Foundation

Facilitate

Your intervention doesn't exist in a vacuum. Other people control the environment, the budget, the messaging. This module covers how to diagnose stakeholder resistance, design asks that connect to their goals rather than yours, and create conditions where the behaviour is easier to do than not do.

You'll leave with: a practical understanding of how to navigate stakeholder dynamics and environmental design.

You'll leave with: a matched intervention designed for the specific barrier you diagnosed, with a plan for when and where it reaches the target audience.

Foundation

Test

Most measurement plans track satisfaction or awareness. Neither tells you whether behaviour changed. This module teaches you how to measure the behaviour itself, what to look for in the first 30 days, and the unintended consequences that derail otherwise good interventions.

You'll leave with: a measurement plan that tracks actual behaviour change, not just activity.

Expectations

What this course is and isn't

This course is not

  • An overview of behavioural science theory

  • A collection of nudge examples to copy

  • An academic literature review

  • A motivational framework for getting people to "buy in"

  • A one-size-fits-all toolkit

This course is

  • A diagnostic method you apply to your own initiative

  • Structured tools for pinpointing what's blocking behaviour and designing interventions that match

  • Practice-focused, with worked examples showing the method applied to real scenarios

  • A system for figuring out why your current approach isn't working and what to change

  • Built for practitioners who design and deliver change, not academics

Who This Is For

You should take this course if...

  • You've launched change initiatives that generated activity but didn't shift the behaviour

  • You've been asked to "change the culture" without a clear behavioural target

  • You suspect your current intervention doesn't match the actual barrier

  • You default to training or communications and want a broader intervention repertoire

  • You know the outcome you want but can't articulate the specific behaviour that drives it

  • You work in transformation, change, L&D, safety, compliance, HR, or operational excellence

This course is

  • A diagnostic method you apply to your own initiative

  • Structured tools for pinpointing what's blocking behaviour and designing interventions that match

  • Practice-focused, with worked examples showing the method applied to real scenarios
