[Behavioral Science Consultancy — Brazilian Institute of Behavioral Sciences]

Most behavior change initiatives fail before they start

Campaigns that don't engage. Policies that meet systematic resistance. Training that never becomes practice. The problem is rarely lack of intention — it's that most approaches are built on assumptions about human behavior, not evidence on it.
