One behaviour at a time - transforming the work of Industry through the "Applying Behavioural Science to Create Change" micro-credential

Addressing society’s greatest challenges requires change to happen - one behaviour at a time. To address the growing demand for behavioural science capacity building in industry, BehaviourWorks Australia (BWA) developed the micro-credential, Applying Behavioural Science to Create Change. Featuring examples and case studies drawn from projects that BWA has completed with its Consortium Partners since 2011, such as reducing waste, enhancing biodiversity, and improving health, the course helps embed an understanding of how to harness human behaviour to improve social and environmental policy and program design. Informed by best practice in professional development education, the course has helped 566 graduates to date, from the state and federal government, and other units from a range of sectors, apply behavioural insights in their work. Growing evidence suggests the course contributes to transformative changes to practice, that are being explored further and traced back to the application of various education innovations.
