Abstract

We introduce strategists to the Mindspace framework and explore its applications in strategic contexts. This framework consists of nine effective behavioral interventions which are grounded in the public policy applications, and focuses on how changing the context can be
more effective than attempts to de-bias decision-makers. Behavioral changes are likely when we follow rather than fight human nature. Better decisions can be achieved by engineering choice contexts to “engage a bias” to overcome a more damaging bias. We illustrate how to engineer strategic contexts through two case studies and outline directions and challenges when applying Mindspace to strategic decisions.
