PIM 49th Annual Conference

Day three

Friday 28 October

Session C Sustainable Customer Behaviour Tiered Lecture Theatre, Ground Floor, Scarman Every organisation has social and environmental sustainability objectives nowadays – from corporates and NGOs to public sector bodies and business schools. And some of that is about putting our own house in order, as the walking tour before this session will show. But to achieve our objectives we also need the help of our ‘customers’ (from students to faculty!) If we develop a great sustainable product, for example, we need our customers to buy it, and use it correctly. Based on Warwick’s research with firms such as Unilever, this workshop will show you a simple framework for nudging customer behaviour, and give you a chance to try brainstorming in groups on a behaviour- change challenge you’re interested in.
