It’s frustrating to know so much

yet still struggle to use it.

Miscommunication with customers and teams makes everything harder. You try to influence decisions but feel unheard. You’ve gathered so much knowledge, yet applying it in real situations still feels unclear, and that leaves you doubting yourself, even though you’re genuinely trying to do your best.

People shouldn’t have to guess how to communicate or make decisions, they deserve the tools to understand human behaviour and use it for good.

Our work is used by innovation consultancies and organisations where decisions carry real risk, talent is hard to replace, and guessing is expensive.

We understand how it feels,

and we've helped thousands overcome it.

We’ve been there wanting to do better, wanting our work to matter, absorbing every book and insight… yet still not knowing how to turn it into confident action.

For more than 25 years, we’ve helped companies understand people better, building behavioural frameworks that reduce risk, sharpen decisions, and save millions in wasted effort. We’ve worked with industry-leading brands you’ll recognise from our website.

And before all that, we learned behaviour design the hard way, designing gambling machines where every small detail had to work in real life, not just in theory. That experience showed us what truly influences behaviour. We then reinvented ourselves to use that same expertise for positive impact, helping people and organisations create change that actually serves them.

Who we help

Whether you're an entrepreneur, marketer, product manager, researcher, or designer.

Our courses transform confusion into clarity and provides you confidence and authority in your decisions.

This course has been my favorite since I started studying ever. I loved everything about it, and I feel sad that it’s over. I would’ve loved it if all classes were this enjoyable and instructive. Truly, one of my best experiences ever, I have learnt a lot

Maite - Design Strategy

Not only the content was very interesting and applicable, but the session itself had a super clear and engaging structure.

In fact, it is so applicable that I have already absorbed the content and used it in a Design Sprint session with the team.

Olga - UX researcher

I would like to thank you for today's lecture. Not only was the theory very interesting and clearly presented, but the opportunity to try it out immediately with afterward's commentary was extremely beneficial! I could openly tell you that it was the most interesting lecture I've seen throughout the year.

Gary van Broekhoven

University Lecturer, Consumer Psychologist + Behavioural Architect

Honoured as a 2024 Master Teacher of the Year nominee and ex VP of Innovation at DMI, I’ve spent 27 years helping global teams decode game-changing insights and design for behaviour change through powerful frameworks like GRAMS and NOREX, now recognised in academia and innovation.

I’ve worked on projects in patient adherence with doctors across Europe, partnered with brands like Springer and Sanofi, and supported founder networks like EO and YPO. I’ve also collaborated with world-class consultancies like IDEO, Designit, and Fjord.

Now, as part of my mid-life crisis, I've decided to take a year off and share all the frameworks I know first-hand that work in a wide range of situations and sectors. I've seen enough damage done to this world - it’s time to empower the right people!
