BehaviourWorks Australia Method Book provides practitioners with
a prioritised list of research and decision-making tools that will
increase the chances that any behaviour change efforts will be
effective. The Book is based on our extensive experience of applying
different behaviour change skills and approaches in partnership with government
and industry across a range of contexts. In this Introductory chapter, we
outline some of the key benefits of applying the behavioural sciences to
influence outcomes related to economic prosperity, better health, social
inclusion and environmental sustainability (including specific reference to
Covid-19), followed by an overview of the Method. We then describe our plans to
release a chapter each month throughout 2021 that focuses on a specific skill
or approach (along with a host of complementary resources, including future
training and collaboration opportunities). Finally, we describe how we will be
applying the behavioural sciences to our author team to deliver the book as
planned.
