Anne Van Lieren from Livework, speaks at SDGC19 in Toronto.
Often customers don’t behave as organisations want, or expect them to - as the majority of people move through their services in autopilot. The past four years at Livework, we have experienced the power of infusing service design with a refined mix of behavioural economics, consumer behaviour and psychology. We have developed a unique approach that goes beyond nudging. By getting people aware at the right time we have helped a wide range of clients to create lasting impact on behaviour change.

People behave irrational most of the
time - but we can design for it.
Organisations assume people
make well thought through
decisions, but they don’t.

Behaviour follows from how people decide to act
People use two mindsets when making decisions
Subconscious

Using cognitive patterns to influence behaviour
Our actions are
subconsciously
influenced by the
behaviour of others

have paid their tax on time”
From 67% to 83% of late tax payers

Anne, did you know that almost all our insurance
customers provide an honest and accurate
description of what has happened?
Hi Anne!
Unsure of what we want you
to hand in or explain? Please
