About This Course

This workshop equips public officers with the tools and techniques to apply Behavioural Insights (BI) in designing and evaluating policies, programmes, and public-facing initiatives.

Participants will move beyond “what is BI” to how to design, test, and measure what works. Through hands-on exercises, data interpretation, and structured reflection, they will learn how to identify behavioural drivers, craft testable interventions, analyse impact, and translate findings into practical and scalable recommendations.

The following are some activities to be covered:

  • Readings and interactive briefings on behavioural frameworks and mechanisms
  • Guided design and data analysis sessions
  • Translating evidence into policy or operational recommendations

What You'll Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  1. EXPLAIN and APPLY key BI frameworks
  2. IDENTIFY behavioural bottlenecks in policy or operational challenges
  3. DESIGN interventions using robust research and evaluation methodologies
  4. TRANSLATE behavioural evidence into actionable recommendations for policy or service improvement
