<$100 on street>
• Any economists in the room? Good let’s make fun of them for a moment.
• There’s an old joke about economists’ assumptions about our human rationality and efficient markets. The joke goes.
• “Two economists are walking down the street. One sees a $100 bill lying on the sidewalk and says, “Look! There’s $100 bill!” The second economist responds, “Nah, that’s not a $100 bill. If it was, someone would have picked it up already.”
• So the joke illustrates a point. Some times there are $100 bills laying around that people don’t bother to pick-up…

People know what they want and act consistently.
Preferences change based on context.
Motivate through awareness. People just need the right information.
Motivation forms intention but that’s not enough to drive behavior.
People fail to act because they don’t value what’s being offered.
Inaction is often the result of barriers, not lack of intent.
Figure out what the user is doing wrong and make them do it right. Fix what’s wrong with experience.
BUILDING PRODUCTS BUILDING BEHAVIORS
Build the best technology. Use the right psychology.
EXAMPLES show us what’s possible
Level of motivation and ability determines if action will occur … but move ability first.
