Highest ranked words: Bureaucratic Infuriating Faceless Hardworking Unresponsive Unaccountable.

Only 43% of public sector workers consider it very important to develop more flexible and personalised services

Increasing choice for users was seen as the least important strategic objective by senior public sector managers over the next year with 49% saying it was not important.

It’s about bringing a relationship mind set to everything we do”

If you can get them asking thewrong question the answersdon’t matter

Wrong question: How about a new initiative?


Information is important ... but it can be misinterpreted!

Information is often misunderstood


The RightQuestion

How can I create environments products and services that help people change?

Residents who go to a council gym, swimming pool or leisure centre able to go for free as long as they attend at least once a week for four weeks.

6,203 people getting in shape under the £500,000 scheme.

Successful in attracting more than 70 per cent participants from minority ethnic communities including significant numbers from the Bangladeshi, Pakistani and African-Caribbean communities – many of them women.

Customer Triangle

1. Active engagement of individuals and communities

2. Set explicit objectives

3. Use ‘segmentation’

4. Use combined approaches

5. Coalitions and coordination

6. Interventions driven by theory, evidence and insight

7. Sustain and appropriately funded interventions

8. Evaluate, adjust and learn


3 core concepts‘Insight’

Developing a genuine insight into the reality of the everyday lives and experiences of the audience is critical.

‘Exchange & prompts to change

What the person has to give in order to get the proposed benefit , or a prompt that helps the person change behaviour.

‘Competition’

Whatever is being ‘offered’ will always face external and internal competition (e.g.: the power of pleasure, habit, addiction, etc).


Not hard to reach But easy to miss

Incentives to reduce or increase

‘Prompts , Nudges, Choice Architecture’:


Youth programme brought groups together to tackle the issues

Result: an accepting social norm was created that increased the number of girls becoming pregnant (LSHTM Dr Nenel)

One in six who went on course end up pregnant

Girls on the course three times more times likely to become pregnant that those who did not take part

A study of some Israeli childcare centers offers a good real world example of how market incentives can crowd out non-market norms. The centers faced a familiar problem - parents sometimes came late to pick up their children, and so a teacher had to stay with the children until the tardy parents arrived. To solve this problem, the childcare centers imposed a fine for late pick-ups. What do you suppose happened? Late pick-ups actually increased. Now if you assume that people respond to incentives, this is puzzling. You would expect, wouldn’t you, the fine to reduce, not increase the incidence of late pick-ups? So what happened? Introducing the fine changed the norms. Before, parents who came late felt guilty; they were imposing an inconvenience on the teachers. Now parents considered a late arrival a service for which they were willing to pay. Rather than imposing on the teacher, they were simply paying her to stay longer.

3 core principles

Behaviour and behavioural goals

The purpose is to achieve measurable impact on behaviour.

The ‘Intervention and Marketing Mix’ Based on the evidence that to achieve behavioural goals there will be normally need to be a range of interventions.

Audience segmentationMoving beyond the traditional focus on demographics and service use, impact statistics to include behaviour and psycho-graphic aspects


Men in the Stillbrow Ward aged between 35 and 45 will reduce their smoking rate from the current level of 40% to 30% by September 2012.

This means that based on the current (April 2009) population level at least 210 med will have stopped smoking for more than six months verified through the agreed physiological testing protocol.

▪ Numbers of people who asked a GP for a CXR 64% to 76%

▪ Target GP practices increased CXR referrals three times that of non-target practices

▪ 20 additional cases diagnosed during the campaign

▪ Stage I&II increased from 11% to 19%

Legacy of the 2003 COI common good Ethnic Minority Communities qualitative research report:Its not necessary

Its too difficult

Its divisive

The need for a comprehensive BME insight research programme

Analysis of data from that National Child Measurement Programme indicates that children from the Pakistani, Bangladeshi and black African communities are more likely to become overweight or obese than their white British counterparts

The original How are the Kids? survey and the materials that were sent in response were only available in English. We have always recognised that tailored materials, using other languages and culturally specific advice would allow Change4Life to engage with other communities in a more meaningful way. In consequence, we appointed a specialist ethnic marketing agency and worked closely with primary care trusts and local authorities in three areas – Luton, Bradford and Lambeth & Southwark – to design bespoke programmes.

Need insights re BME groups at the start of all programmes not half way through

Clear aims and objectives within all programmes that include specific BME targets

Investment in cross sector coordination andclarity of responsibility between the state, BME communities , private sector and NGO sector

Sufficient BME market, insight and research, data analysis and evidence reviews

More effort on evaluation and spreading good practice

Sufficient investment, long term planning
