What you’ll get out of this course

Develop your own applied behavioral science project

You will utilize one of the templated project plans or create a custom one to construct a launch strategy that you will be able to implement to showcase the value behavioral science immediately brings to your team and organization. 

Skills to identify project opportunities

With a toolkit filled with frameworks, you will have the ability to evaluate your work context to pinpoint areas where the application of a behavioral intervention will yield more desirable user behavior.

Knowledge of the core tenant of applied behavioral science

Going through a crash course describing how the main components of behavioral science are most relevant to applied work, you will leave with a plan of what aspects you should spend more time learning.

A network of like-minded individuals

Working with other aspiring applied behavioral scientists on class projects, you will share knowledge and learn from each other. If you don't have a besci network, you will possess one after this course!

Connor Joyce

2x BeSci Practice Founder, Research Lead @ Twilio

Hello, my name is Connor, and I have served as the founding member of two behavioral science practices, one at Microsoft and another at Tonal. I also am a behavioral science community builder and co-founder of the Applied Behavioral Science Association, a group established to add more definition to this great field. In this work and through many other projects, I have taken the academic insights of behavioral science and turned them into business value. 


In my years as an applied behavioral science community leader, I have learned that for teams to survive, they must move from evangelizing for the inclusion of behavioral science to incorporating its insights into value-adding projects. Distilling the insights garnered over this time, I am a frequent writer, speaker, and consultant. Launching this course is the next step in scaling my insights to empower individuals to turn their idea of a behavioral science team into a reality.
