Behaviour Change Bootcamps

Our Behaviour Change Bootcamps offer intensive, group-based training to influential groups within organisations, helping them become skilled advocates in applying the behavioural sciences to program design and implementation. They offer organisations the flexibility to meet internal needs.

Read our testimonial

Each Bootcamp is tailored to the organisation’s needs in terms of content, methods of delivery (in-person and/or online) and typically involve up to 20 participants. It’s the ideal course for groups looking to understand how they can apply a behavioural approach to address their needs. The courses are tailored based on the needs, interests and suggestions of training participants who want to fill specific knowledge gaps.

We are committed to improving behaviour change literacy in Australia. We've been doing this with out government and industry partners, helping them understand how to view their policy problems through a behavioural lens since 2011.

All our courses are developed and delivered by behaviour change researchers who design and implement interventions and are up to date with the latest behaviour change thinking.

How to get started:

  • Get in touch with us to discuss your organisation’s/group’s needs so we can tailor our Bootcamp for you.
  • Prior to each Bootcamp, participants are asked to provide information about a ‘live’ problem confronting their organisation that could benefit from a behavioural focus.
  •  We’ll then review the information and agree on a set of 4-6 problem statements that participants will work on throughout the Bootcamp.

The Bootcamp runs for a period of 8 - 12 weeks, and provides:

  • A detailed understanding of human behaviour;
  • An introduction to the BehaviourWorks Method;
  • Weekly tasks, webinars and workshops; and,
  • An opportunity for teams to develop a live roadmap or workplan of completed and future activities to support the implementation of behaviour change projects relevant to their work areas.

Example topics
The following list of courses/workshops is indicative only. Within each are several subjects that can be mixed and matched to meet your needs.

  • a practical introduction to behaviour change and the tools and approaches that BehaviourWorks uses to develop and trial behaviour change interventions
  • using behavioural science to design better policies and services
  • understanding the problem from a behavioural insights perspective
  • intervention design: incorporating behavioural insights into program and service design
  • asking better questions: qualitative methods
  • running a basic Randomised Control Trial
  • evaluation design for behaviour change interventions

The content includes case studies involving our partners. Our training team are renowned for being friendly and supportive.

Tailor made and practical

Each Bootcamp is tailored to the organisation’s needs in terms of content, methods of delivery (in-person and/or online) and typically involve up to 20 participants.

Prior to each Bootcamp, participants are asked to provide information about a ‘live’ problem confronting their organisation that could benefit from a behavioural focus.

The organisers (from the participating organisation and BWA) then review the information and agree on a set of four to six problem statements that participants will work on, in teams, throughout the Bootcamp.

Through a combination of weekly tasks, webinars and workshops, the teams then develop a live roadmap or workplan of completed and future activities to support the implementation of behaviour change projects relevant to their work areas.

Throughout the Bootcamps, teams are supported by BehaviourWorks Australia's training team.

While each Bootcamp is tailored to the organisation's needs in terms of content, methods of delivery and timelines, they typically run between eight and 12 weeks and involve up to 20 participants.

Frequently asked questions

What format of course do you run?

Our training portfolio offers a variety of opportunities to suit a wide range of needs, from half-day or two day short introduction or foundation programs, a 15 hour skills development course (toolbox series/short courses) to an eight week bootcamp, and our 12 week accredited program. We also welcome applications for our doctoral program for the truly behaviour obsessed!

What is a digital badge?

Digital badges are a widely used and reputable method of verifying your learning. By sharing your digital badge (usually a small graphic linked to details about your course or credential), you can demonstrate your skills, build trust with your prospective employers and your professional network, and enhance your personal brand and your career.

‍

Through your badge, you can also create a printable course certificate. Here you can find out more about Digital Credentials at Monash.

What is the difference between assessed and non-assessed?

Our Applying Behavioural Science to Create Change course can be completed with or without assessment.

Participants in both the assessed and non-assessed versions must fulfil the minimum participation requirement of engaging in weekly discussion forums, which provide an opportunity for formative feedback.

The assessed version will also include three additional summative assessments. Detailed guidelines will be provided.

Participants in the assessed version who achieve at least 50% overall will be eligible to apply for 6 credit points in the Master of Behaviour and Systemic Change, Graduate Certificate in Behaviour Change or Master of Environment and Sustainability.

Can you provide training for my organisation?

We have specialist courses for organisations, from a coaching and mentoring team-based bootcamp to bespoke, tailored programing to meet identified needs within your team. Please get in touch to discuss you requirements.

How often do the courses run?

We have a calendar of delivery dates for open to market offerings. If there is something you are interested in that is not in the calendar, let us know!

What makes your course different to a traditional university course?

All BehaviourWorks Australia programs focus on providing our participants with the knowledge and confidence to apply practical behaviour change tools and methods in their workplace/life.

Who runs the course?

All our courses are delivered by the experienced and engaging BehaviourWorks Australia applied research team. The researchers are all engaged with cutting-edge projects with clients, using evidence based behavioural science to address real world problems. This means we draw on live examples and personally developed case studies in the programs.

How much experience do I need to participate?

We offer programs to suit everyone, from those who are just starting to explore behaviour change and what it offers, to those who have already been applying in their work and want to boost their toolkit, to organisations who want to support their own behavioural insights team.

Is behaviour change applicable to my industry?

Understanding WHO needs to DO WHAT differently, and exploring why people do the things they do, is at the heart of many government departments, industries and life itself! All our work is underpinned by the Sustainable Development Goals, and we work across sectors including health, societal equity, financial development and environmental protection. If you work with people and problems, a behavioural perspective could be extremely helpful in increasing your program or policy effectiveness.

I am not based in Victoria - do you have any online offerings?

Yes! We have online courses with the same content and same fantastic interactive delivery techniques as our face to face programs. We design our online programs with flexibility in mind, so that working professionals and others can easily access the content at a time that suits their needs.
