Behavioral Design Thinking
BD
Behavioral Design (BD) aims to understand how people think, feel & make decisions.
BD also helps us visualize how people interact with their environment & with each other, under different conditions. Design thinking aims to understand people’s unspoken needs (hidden fears/aspirations) & meet them in a way that maximizes value & makes it business-viable.
Behavioral design integrated with Design thinking, which we call as “Behavioral Design Thinking”, enables us to design highly valuable, engaging experiences for people considering real human biases and use effective prompts / triggers to lead to desired business outcomes. BDT – is a great new way of designing for humans.
