Course chapter overview

1. Eagle-eye view: Brain & Behavior explained

We kick off with the paradigm shift that started all this. Chances are that a lot of what you know about your audience, customers (and yourself) is based on a false assumption. Time to shift your thinking with a valuable new perspective.

  • Find out how Brain & Behavior is relevant for what you do

  • Understand the #1 insight out of 50 years of customer psychology

  • Dive into insights, practical tactics and case studies

2. Key principles: The building blocks of Brain & Behavior

Truly understanding your customers requires some behavioral psychology and neuroscience. Since these fields are huge, we selected the principles that are absolutely key and turned them into action.

  • Learn the essentials of how your customer’s brain works

  • Understand the roles of attention, perception & memory

  • Integrate principles in campaigns, copywriting and user journeys

3. Brain-centric approach: Deconstructing your challenge

Science is fun, but only valuable when you can actually do something with it. We created a framework that helps you turn insights into action: The Brain-Centric Approach

  • Integrate & align psychological principles with your (digital) strategy

  • Identify psychological solutions for your challenges

  • Prevent behavioral tactics from backfiring

4. Decision-making: Leveraging predictable irrationality

About 95% of our decisions are made subconsciously. This chapter is about understanding the hidden forces that shape customer’s choices and how they can be positively influenced.

  • Understand how your customers and users make choices

  • Become a choice architect and design how choices are presented

  • Enrich your customer journeys by mapping out decision-making processes

5. Cognitive biases: Navigating the subconscious

You might have heard of these ‘biases’ before. The good news: They are the absolute key to predicting decisions and behavior. The ‘bad’ news: There are over 200 of them!

  • Recognize 12+ key cognitive biases like anchoring, framing & priming

  • Leverage cognitive biases to optimize customer experience

  • Learn to work with cognitive biases in an innovative and ethical way

6. Behavioral change: Building your toolkit

Time to move from brain to behavior. By turning your knowledge into practice, you’ll learn how to leverage powerful behavioral drivers to change and motivate behavior. Also, you’ll bump up your persuasive communication skills.

  • Understand behavioral drivers like friction & motivation

  • Subtly change customer behavior with the NUDGES framework

  • Set the context for lasting impact and effect

7. Operationalization: Turning tactics into action

This is where it all comes together. Start combining the best tactics and strategies, learn from leading companies through step-by-step real-world cases and start using the very first Brain & Behavior tool.

  • Overcome limitations by combining interventions

  • Learn how companies like Apple and Garmin apply Brain & Behavior

  • Use the Cognitive Biases Database to design your own tactics
