Unlocking the power of behavioural science.

Behavioural science, also known as behavioural insights or behavioral finance, is a key toolkit for business success in the financial services, accounting, and legal sectors.

Growing recognition of the complexity of human behavior is driving increasing interest in use of behavioural science to guide strategic business decisions.

Traditional approaches to understanding human behaviour, or market conditions, often fail to reflect human decision-making complexity or changing market conditions.

This hands-on workshop offers a step-by-step guide to unlocking the power of behavioural economics to support legal compliance, accounting needs, and ethical behaviour across all business lines.


What you will learn:

  • Understanding applied science to make effective decisions
  • Why our brains are not wired to deal with competing decision-making
  • Applying behavioural science and ethics in the legal and accounting space
  • Assessing marketplace dynamics and human behaviour
  • Meet your CPD ethic requirements for lawyers, accountant, and advisers professionals

This workshop is tailored for

  • Lawyers
  • Accountants
  • Tax accountants
  • Ethics professionals
