Katona's work in the 1970s on 'sentiment' was pivotal in understanding consumer behaviour. For example the US Federal Reserve was hugely resistant to the idea that feelings had a part to play in economic forecasting. Katona proved that answers to questions such as 'do you believe you will be better off next year than this?' were actually better forecasters of economic performance than traditional models. Many behavioural economists now use Katona's theories.

Leadership and behavioural economics - McKinsey article

Nick Chater, Professor of Behavioural Science at WBS looks at how mental manipulation can be backed by good intentions - but when used with stealth, it is deceitful and wrong. Nudge theory will be one of the talks at the KIN Winter Workshop

"Changing behaviour is often about finding a way to make people want to change, making things fun is one way - this video looks at how to get more people to use the stairs by making it fun. The question is - what do you do once the 'novelty' element wears off...?"

Excellent Article on how to accomplish behavioural change

McKinsey have developed an approach to retention: to detect previously unobserved behavioural patterns, they combine various data sources with machine-learning algorithms. Workshops and interviews are used to generate ideas and a set of hypotheses. Over time they collected hundreds of data points to test. Then ran different algorithms to get insights at a broad organisational level, to identify specific employee clusters, and to make individual predictions. Finally they held a series of workshops and focus groups to validate the insights from our models and to develop a series of concrete interventions. The insights were surprising and at times counterintuitive. They expected factors such as an individual's performance rating or compensation to be the top predictors of unwanted attrition. But analysis revealed that a lack of mentoring and coaching and of "affiliation" with people who have similar interests were actually top of list. More specifically, "flight risk" across the firm fell by 20 to 40 percent when coaching and mentoring were deemed satisfying.
