When will this arrive by?

How do you get people who work in pig abattoirs to wash their hands? How does painting the walls of a canteen pink make construction workers behave more safely? And how can baby faces spray painted onto shop shutters reduce anti-social behaviour?

Ripple is about how small behaviour changes can have wide-reaching effects in the real world. By applying behavioural science in your working life, you can have positive ripple effects on the world around you.

While nudging is now commonplace in politics, most of our daily interactions with companies, products, and services have not yet been transformed with behavioural science. Doing so is often a messy process but, armed with this book, you'll have the practical toolkit to get started.

Through storytelling and practical tips, Ripple takes you on a journey across the globe which will leave you inspired to start applying behavioural science to improve the world around you.

"Ripple takes the reader on an experience-packed journey inside the wonderful world of applied behavioural science - impressively, it makes this world both comprehensible and practicable, showing how little changes can have very significant wide-ranging effects. Groom and Vellacott's book is packed with illuminating real-world examples showcasing the power of behavioural insights to make a real, and usually low cost, difference - sometimes transforming a good idea into a commercial success. It is hard to think of a better tutorial on the effective use of behavioural science in business, especially as it comes from authors who are at the serious end of its application. This is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to apply behavioural ripples to create a sea-change in their own business. Given the thoughtful way it is written - using story-telling backed-up with practical tips - investment of reading time is amply rewarded by new knowledge, ideas and a practical toolkit that is ready to be put to work. Read, apply and watch these behavioural ripples create new waves in your own business." --Professor Philip Corr, City University
