@behscientist "If products and processes are behaviorally well designed, we won’t need to nudge people to adopt them." @dilipsoman
Agreed! Looking at #designbehavior will be very important this decade! Happy and open to collaborate!
@behscientist@dilipsoman "Our greatest impact won’t come in isolated experiments on one-off decisions, but in altering the choice architecture of the complex organizations and systems those occur in." @erikleejohnson
Also, as complex systems adapt, our choice architecture should be react & be "pruned".
@behscientist@dilipsoman@erikleejohnson "I would challenge my fellow behavioral scientists to look back at ... how their findings could someday be useful in the real world—and put that idea to the test now." @DunnHappyLab
Yes, future work = researcher's next step!
@behscientist@dilipsoman@erikleejohnson@DunnHappyLab "With psychologists becoming more embedded in product development, a new code is needed to account for the unforeseen challenges of connected devices, large scale personal data collection, dissemination of misinformation, algorithmic bias, and mass surveillance.

👏👏
Some ppl recognize behavioral science is in its adolescents in a lot ways. While behavioral scientists have identified design that work really well (you know:
opt-out organ donation @ProfEricJohnson & @dggoldst
Save More for Tomorrow @R_Thaler & @shlomobenartzi)
These are wonderful & we should keep doing these!
But these are only a beginning manifestation of behavioral design & never meant to encompass all of behavioral science
The problem some see is that #nudges are designed in STABLE contexts & with specific demographics
"When making decisions, instead of asking ourselves which option will give us the best results, we should be asking which option will give us good-enough results under the widest range of future states of the world." psyche.co/ideas/why-effi… via @psyche_the_mag
"And satisficing with an eye toward a radically uncertain future might be called robust satisficing."
Good enough seems to be a better bet - especially as we become familiar with the variability and swift state changes common to #ComplexSystems
Market Transformation is difficult for energy!
The Midwest Market Transformation* Collaborative
—Molly Graham @MEEAee #SummerStudy20
Current problems within market transformations include: (1) diminishing opportunities for cost-effective #energy savings (2) there's a need for longer term savings to achieve goals
The Midwest Market Transformation initiative looks to align interests & provide the best regulatory practices given regional policy factors
