Behavioural Economics

Behavioural Economics is gaining recognition and influence for its importance in guiding marketing efforts and ethics. It has proven effective in building good organisational cultures and helping us understand what we don’t understand and why we don’t understand it.

The JBS Programme on Behavioural Economics is designed to increase your awareness of how cognitive bias drives decisionmaking, and what you as a leader can do to respond and drive improved results in your organisation. We will explore an elegant framework backed by the result of a 30-year exploration that sought to identify the connection between psychology and economic decisions.
