Optimal Behaviors: Making Optimal Behavior the Natural Choice

Optimal Behaviors Overview

Watch this webinar series to see how we explore ways organizations can incorporate research-based, practical approaches to create the conditions where Optimal Behaviors are the natural choice. Optimal Behaviors are those that are the most beneficial to the individual as well as the organization.

Horticulturists consider the impact of the conditions in which plants are grown (e.g., climate, soil structure, space and fertility, arrangement, companion planting). Growth and productivity improve when the context of each dimension is appropriately addressed. Expertise from fields like botany and soil sciences provide the successful horticulturist with the information to do their jobs well.

Similarly, Humaculturists® consider the Seven Dimensions of Humaculture® to employ knowledge solidly “rooted” in science for the best results. Behavioral Research Applied Technology Laboratory (BRATLAB), Virtuositeam’s research arm, set out to answer some crucial questions related to understanding changes in behavior and habit creation:

• Which habits really matter, and to what degree, to the three biggest hidden drivers of sustained performance at work, human health, happiness, and security?
• How do we support people to practice these habits in a way that they experience as easy and natural, and that leaves them feeling highly engaged with their employer?

Four Powers Model of Change

The result: the Four Powers Model of Change. This model helps organizations create a thriving culture by leveraging this key distinction: how people THINK they behave and make decisions, versus how they ACTUALLY behave and make decisions. Four Powers is based on behavioral theories and validated research, behavioral research laboratories, and BRATLAB’s own extensive field testing. BRATLAB looked across industries to find the influence techniques that have been successfully used for years to shape employee and customer behavior.
