Workshops and Engagements

I regularly deliver talks, workshops, and executive sessions for organizations and institutions interested in applying behavioral science to real-world challenges. My sessions draw on over two decades of work at the intersection of economics, psychology, and public policy, and have been delivered to audiences across finance, technology, health, government, and academia.

If you are interested in arranging a workshop, keynote, or advisory session, please get in touch via email or connect with me directly on LinkedIn.


FORGOOD Framework: Ethical Behavioural Science

Alongside my collaborators Bishin Ho and Annabel Gillard, I co-developed the FORGOOD Framework initiative — a practical tool for embedding ethics into behavioral science projects across sectors such as finance, technology, and public policy.

The framework builds on the original FORGOOD ethics framework, which I co-developed with Leonhard Lades. It is featured in OECD guidance on integrating ethics into applied behavioral science and has been used in executive education, policy design, and academic teaching.

Those specifically interested in exploring the ethical dimensions of behavioral science — including organizational governance, the ethics of influence, and responsible innovation — can find more information and opportunities to collaborate at forgoodframework.com.


Workshop: Behavioral Science for Better Decisions

I have delivered this workshop to a wide range of executive audiences across finance, pharma, technology, and government, helping leaders and teams apply insights from behavioral economics and psychology to improve decision-making in complex environments.

The session introduces key ideas from behavioral science and demonstrates how they can be used to refine strategy, communication, and policy design. Participants learn to recognize and manage judgment biases, understand practical frameworks such as MINDSPACE and EAST, and strengthen organizational decision-making processes.

Key topics include:

  • How people actually make decisions — and the implications for leaders and policymakers

  • Tools and frameworks for applying behavioral insights

  • Improving executive and team decision processes by reducing “noise”

  • Lessons from global applications, including OECD case studies

Participants receive curated resources from leading thinkers along with optional readings for further exploration.


Workshop: Behavioral Economics and the Future of Financial Services

I have delivered this workshop to executives and professionals across finance, regulation, and consumer policy, exploring how behavioral economics can help explain and improve decision-making in financial markets.

The session examines how consumers make choices about complex products such as mortgages, credit cards, and pensions — and why traditional economic assumptions often fail to capture real behavior. Using insights from psychology and experimental economics, participants learn to identify key biases that shape financial decisions and to consider how behavioral insights can inform product design, communication, and regulatory strategy.

Key topics include:

  • How people make financial decisions under uncertainty

  • Heuristics and biases: anchoring, availability, representativeness, framing, and intertemporal choice

  • Behaviorally informed approaches to mortgage, credit, and savings markets

  • Lessons from regulatory and policy applications (including detailed case studies from across industry and regulation)

  • Implications for innovation and responsible consumer engagement

This workshop provides participants with a clear understanding of how behavioral economics is reshaping the landscape of modern financial services — from customer experience to compliance — and why it matters for the future of the sector.
