Anyone whose work centres on encouraging people to make better decisions for themselves, their communities, or the planet, needs to add the Behavioural Insights lens to their toolbox. Kirstin Appelt was a generous and knowledgeable instructor. I appreciated the sample readings and group discussions. I left each class inspired and wanting to learn more. I look forward to continuing to deepen my knowledge of behavioural science and hope I can take the certificate program in the near future.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>Trish Kelly<\/strong><br><em>Fundamentals Class of 2024<br>Managing Director, Untapped Accessibility<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About BI <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>BI combines an understanding of how we all make decisions plus rigorous research methods to tackle a variety of problems from sustainability to compliance to employee engagement and beyond.
