September Workshop
Behavioral Design Workshop led by Susan Weinschenk

Join us for a full-day workshop on Behavioral Design!

Learn how to apply recent research in brain and behavioral science to engage, encourage, and persuade the people that use your products and services. In this fast-paced interactive workshop we share the latest research on how people see, pay attention, decide, and what motivates people to take action.

You will learn and practice how to apply this science to the design of your products, services, and spaces so that people will be engaged and persuaded to take specific action. Here are some of the things you will learn: 

 

  • How people see, and how to grab attention 
  • The importance of peripheral vision 
  • How people make decisions 
  • How to make trade-offs in human factors loads 
  • Cognitive biases and how they affect behavior
  • Habit formation and conditioned responses
  • The impact of the need to belong 
  • When rewards do and don’t work 
  • How self-stories influence behavior 
  • How to encourage the desire for mastery as a motivator 
and much more!

During the workshop you will practice applying what you are learning to practical product, interface, and interaction design. After the workshop you will take with you a summary of what you have learned and be ready to apply the ideas and techniques to your own projects.
