Recent case studies
In high-stakes sectors like finance and insurance, seasoned professionals are trusted to make complex decisions under pressure. But even the most experienced minds can fall into hidden traps — overconfidence, groupthink, narrow framing — especially when speed and certainty are prized. A leading organization asked us to help their clients’ senior teams sharpen how they think, meet and decide.
We designed a practical, evidence-based program focused on improving decision quality across the board — from strategic choices to operational trade-offs. Using real, live challenges from participants’ own portfolios, we introduced tools to slow down thinking when it matters most, reframe stubborn problems, and generate stronger options.
Participants learned how to spot and reduce bias in team discussions, apply structured judgment methods, and build a culture where quality decisions are expected — not assumed.
The result? More rigorous conversations, clearer thinking in uncertainty, and better alignment around key business choices.

The management wanted to step up the quality and quantity of meetings, both internal and external, to improve decisions, efficiency, performance and wellbeing.
We designed and delivered a full-day workshop with 25 participants on how to have productive meetings based on practical tools and insights from behavioral science.
For example, we explored what needs to happen before the meeting to make sure people show up prepared and interested, but also to safeguard dissenting voices from groupthink.
Participants engaged with excitement and got to create their own custom solutions for effective internal as well as client meetings.

Public policy teams do not have it easy – they struggle daily with long-standing implementation gaps where well-intentioned policies are not translating into real-world outcomes.
To support policymakers, we created the Behavioral Science Public Policy School, a training program delivered under the auspices of the Cyprus Institute. Over three weeks, participants engaged in a 20-hour hands-on workshop series where they learned to apply behavioral diagnosis tools and intervention design frameworks to live policy challenges.
The program zeroed in on behavioral friction — the hidden factors that block uptake, reduce compliance, and weaken communication. One team explored how to shift student habits from personal car use to university bus services. Another focused on reducing water consumption in the hospitality sector through subtle, evidence-based behavioral nudges.
By anchoring the training in their own work, participants didn’t just learn the theory — they used it. The result: better framing, better decisions, and policies designed not just to make sense on paper, but to work in practice.

The company head saw the need to improve their team’s decision quality. From critical thinking and accountability to communication clarity.
We custom-designed a two-day workshop around a specific, important decision that managers need to make on a frequent basis. We based the workshop on the managers’ existing journey map, and drew from the latest evidence-based strategies and tactics found in academia and industry best practices.
We leveraged the managers’ own context to help them problem-solve better by boosting the quality of the decision process and the way they handle uncertainty.
