Join host Kirstin Appelt, Research Director of UBC Decision Insights for Business & Society (UBC-DIBS), as she interviews Behavioural Insights enthusiasts and experts from BC and beyond to explore:
- how BI is being used to tackle societal and planetary challenges,
- how BI skills are used across sectors,
- how BI intersects with other fields,
- how to conduct BI projects,
- and how BI is advancing with new research.
