SUE | Behavioural Design Ethics
The know-how of behavioural psychology can be a powerful tool to shape choices and behaviour. Therefore in Behavioural Design, thinking about ethics and acting upon them is not just relevant – it is indispensable. We have carefully formulated our vision on Behavioural Design ethics on an organisational, project and personal level.
But vision is one thing; Behavioural Design Ethics need to be applied in practice. That’s why we have created a toolkit to incorporate ethics in our Behavioural Design: to make sure we leverage this extraordinary power to do good. Feel free to download our tools or adjust them to your vision and mission. As long as you intend to help people progress, we’re more than okay with that.
SUE | Behavioural Design Ethics: an introduction.
This page is not just a page. It covers a subject that is very close to our hearts: the ethics of Behavioural Design. It will shed a light unto how we incorporate ethics in our way of working. It will also provide you with practical tools to help you pinpoint the considerations you need to make to safeguard the ethics in Behavioural Design. It is our take on things. It isn’t perfect yet. It is ever-evolving work-in-progress, but it is a solid start. At SUE | Behavioural Design, we are very much concerned about the ethics of applied behavioural science.
Our mission is to unlock the power of behavioural psychology to help people make better decisions in work, life and play.
As we are in the business of designing interventions that will influence choice and shape behaviour, we need to have a clear vision of the ethics of Behavioural Design and code of conduct. That’s why we have created this Behavioural Design Ethics Toolkit. We hope it will give you some practical guidelines on how to use Behavioural Design for positive influence.
It isn’t perfect yet. We are prototyping and learning every day. It is constant work in progress that we will keep sharing with you. Our goal is to be very open and transparent about how we try to safeguard the ethics of Behavioural Design and how sometimes we struggle with it. We hope you are in this for the sake of progress, improvement, better decision-making and positive behaviour, and you will embrace our tools and best practices.
