Changing behaviours is at the heart of effective learning and development. But how can we ensure our interventions lead to measurable change? The key lies in a strategic, data-driven approach. Instead of broad, surface-level training, we need to dig deeper to identify the true target behaviours and underlying motivations. Susan Michie's Behaviour Change Taxonomy (https://hubs.li/Q02P4VYF0) highlights three core elements for successful behaviour modification: capability, opportunity, and motivation. By focusing on these elements and using tools like the Behaviour Change Wheel (https://hubs.li/Q02P4Tv40), L&D professionals can create more impactful interventions.
