Nudge to change behavior

Birth of the company 

After several years teaching and lecturing on the subject of Nudge, Arnaud Pêtre decided to set up his own Nudge training organization. Faced with the ineffectiveness of prevention campaigns (for health, sustainable development or road safety), Arnaud realized the need to share his knowledge of the subject in order to encourage real changes in behavior. Accompanied by Océane Dousteyssier, a social and work psychologist, he decided to set up his own Nudge Unit with the aim of deploying the Nudge approach in Belgium.

Impact crisis covid 

The covid-19 pandemic had a considerable impact on a large number of business sectors. The launch of this training organization has been slowed down somewhat, as face-to-face training has been heavily conditioned to keep the number of contacts to a minimum. Nevertheless, Arnaud and Océane are convinced that this pandemic offers them the opportunity to consider the contribution of new sciences, such as Nudge, to crisis management. 

Arnaud and Océane are convinced that Nudge could prove an invaluable ally in the fight against covid-19. 

Based on the idea that it is better to influence without coercion than to prohibit, this theory proposes "nudges" to gently steer citizens' behavior in the right direction (compliance with barrier gestures, wearing of masks, adherence to vaccination campaigns, etc.). 

Between prohibiting everything and authorizing everything, Nudge offers a third, gentler, more emotional and above all more effective way of influencing behavior without carrots or sticks! Nudge units have sprung up all over the world (UK, France, Sweden...), and behavioral science experts have been called in by public authorities to design actions that will significantly boost support for measures to combat the pandemic.

Company evolution 

The company wants to be heard by those responsible for health and prevention, particularly in Wallonia and Brussels, so that together we can fight the pandemic with more acceptable measures that the population can support. 

Given the urgency of the situation, the team is at the disposal of our decision-makers and those involved in the fight against covid-19 to give this crisis management a Nudge!
