Optional Pre-workshop: A serious game approach for exploring behavioural insights

A serious game approach for exploring behavioural insights
2 pm – 5.30 pm
Facilitators:
Peter De Smedt, Patrick Vandenberghe, Veerle Beyst & Sofie Nuyts
This session will give you a hands-on experience of exploring policy interventions inspired by behavioural insights. You might know and have read about behavioural insights, but find them difficult to use in your daily work. Our serious game tool for exploring behavioural insights (eBIs) will help you to bridge the implementation gap.
Applied methodology
Serious game methods can be used as venues or tools for engaging teams in a creative policy development processes including reframing, defining, ideating, prototyping and testing. The methods are designed to create a safe environment for exploring and sharing ideas and are helpful to strengthen small teams in problem-solving.
Session process
Our serious game tool for exploring behavioural insights (eBIs) includes three steps:
- In the first step, participants are engaged in problem reframing using different problem dimensions (e.g. knowledge, motivation and context). This structured dialogue will help to define the behaviour targets and specifications for the policy challenge at stake.
- In the second step, participants will start prototyping policy interventions inspired by the EAST principles[1]: Easy, Attractive, Social and Timely. Hence, if you want to encourage a specific behaviour, you have to make it easy, attractive, social and timely to the target audience.
- In the third and final step, the intervention prototypes are translated into test options with a specific focus on test audience or test venue.
Learning objectives
In the session, you will learn more about:
- Reframing policy challenges into behaviour targets
- Prototyping interventions using the EAST principles
- Designing test options with a specific focus on test audience or test venue
Afterwards you will be able to use behavioural insights as a lens for anticipating how people might react to policy interventions.
Who can attend?
The workshop is for everyone who wants to experience problem solving using a behavioural insight lens. Attendees are policymakers, project-managers, researchers and practitioners working on for instance mobility, climate change, health or environmental issues. Places at the session are limited to 22 people. Session material is provided in English. Small group discussion and translation to Dutch during the session might be facilitated depending on the audience.

Title: Developing a Global Communications Framework to Combat Substandard and Falsified Medicines on behalf of The World Health Organisation (WHO)
Authors: Paul Brewer. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (UK)
This interactive workshop will explore Substandard and Falsified (SF) medicines and the threat they represent, with a focus on critiquing and improving a communications framework being developed by World Health Organisation (WHO). SF products may fail because they have no Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) or be contaminated or contain dangerous ingredients which can be harmful or potentially fatal. Communications can make people aware of these dangers and provide them help to choose genuine medicines, so WHO have developed a global framework to provide guidance to member countries. In the workshop attendees will critique the framework, gain insight to the approach and contribute to this critical public health initiative.

Title: Do we need to target parents directly? Insights from a fruit and vegetable social marketing program
Authors: Ville Lahtinen, Dr Timo Dietrich, Prof Sharyn Rundle-Thiele, Griffith University
Most social marketing programs have focused on influencing individuals and ignored the calls to extend focus on social and environmental influences. The Viisi Per Päivä program (fruit and vegetable program) applied a social ecological model to broaden the focus to the parents and teachers of 5-12 year old children. The results showed a significant increase in subjective norms and in behavioural control towards parents serving more fruit and vegetables to their children.

“Making Social Marketing matter to policy makers”
This discussion focuses on the relevance of social marketing for policy makers. Financial, environmental, and social costs of sub-optimal behaviours and systems combined with the persistent and increasing public mistrust in science and government make social marketing more relevant than ever. Social marketing has been endorsed as a framework of choice in several policy documents and governments and agencies are increasingly recommending it to tackle some of the most severe problems facing Europe today; including NCDs and vaccinations. However, much attention is still placed on motivating individuals to behave better, when evidence suggests the causes of problems are often rooted in sub-optimal policies. Creating conditions in which individuals, communities, and service providers have accessible options for socially good behaviours, requires that policy makers have a sound understanding of social marketing and why it matters.

Food waste is a complex problem in today’s society. Several measures are in place to reduce food waste, one such measure is the “ugly produce” campaign that allows misshapen produce to be sold in the stores. Results from three experimental studies show that, compared to conventional produce, misshapen produce is perceived to be more natural. These findings refine existing literature on products’ visual attributes, which usually reveals unfavourable effects of negative visual attributes.

Authors: Irene Garnelo-Gomez, Kevin Money, University of Reading, David Littlewood, The University of Sheffield
This study explores the narratives of 35 people who self-identify as being sustainable with two interlinked aims: (1) to explore how such individuals use sustainable narratives as an expression of their identity, and (2) to explore what motivates them to live sustainably. While novel insights emerge from each of these explorations, findings are also used to shed light on how expressions of identity and motivational drives interplay in sustainable narratives. This culminates with the presentation of a novel typology which classifies individuals as ‘Holistically’, ‘Privately’, ‘Publicly’ or ‘Accidentally Sustainable’.
