Welcome to the Behavioural Insights Wiki!
Behavioural Insights (BI) draws on the behavioural and decision sciences to explore how we make decisions and to help us make decisions that have a positive impact on individuals, communities and organizations, and the planet.
The BI wiki is maintained by UBC’s Decision Insights for Business & Society (UBC-DIBS) as a free resource for BI enthusiasts and experts. Explore the pages above and the newsfeed below.

UBC-DIBS is a behavioural research and policy solutions initiative at UBC Sauder School of Business. UBC-DIBS is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh). We gratefully acknowledge these peoples, who for millennia have passed on their culture, history, and traditions from one generation to the next in this area. As behavioural scientists, we also know that words are not enough. We are committed to closing the intention-action gap by working toward an anti-racist, Indigenized practice of behavioural science.
