BC Behavioural Insights Group and UBC Decision Insights for Business and Society

The BC Behavioural Insights Group (BC BIG) is a corporate research and evaluation unit in the BC Public Service Agency that uses insights and methods from the behavioural sciences to understand and encourage behaviour change. BC BIG has three areas of focus: (1) Evidence-building including advisory and intervention projects, (2) Capacity-building including training and outreach activities, and (3) Community-building including partnerships and networks. Decision Insights for Business and Society (UBC-DIBS) is a behavioural research and policy solutions initiative at UBC Sauder School of Business. UBC-DIBS’ mission is to improve outcomes across major societal and planetary challenges by improving our understanding of decision-making and helping people make choices that are better for themselves and for the world. In addition to research, UBC-DIBS works with partners to build the Behavioural Insights community and offer Behavioural Insights training.
