#DishaColLab - by @BusaraCenter and @BMGFIndia was a wonderful exercise in a participatory approach to shaping future growth in the discipline/industry. @biasshubho moderated a discussion on the need & manner of expanding the scope of applied #behaviouralscience beyond #policy

@makkifadi gives a warm embrace to the spirit of #DishaColLab and says: this is exactly the forum that will help build the kind of diverse behavioral science capacity and questioning, collaborative minds that the field needs. DishaColLab will need to meet again. And again.

#DishaColLab Audience question: In April 2023, India will become the world’s most populous country. How many behavioral insights teams does that status justify? Hundreds? How to get them? @alokgangaramany says: employ people with different backgrounds, but the right mindset.

#DishaColLab Great advice from @phaldea when introducing applied behavioral science: don’t get sucked in to the temptation of quick wins. Rather, work on better expectation management.

#DishaColLab Audience question: Common talk from the private sector: will it work with quick results? The answer is not always clear—so how to balance that expectation? @phaldea emphasises the need to speak of ‘pipelines’ and ‘experiments’, implying that failure is possible.

#DishaColLab Is behavioral science integrated in India at the civil servant level? @makkifadi considers that crucial; @alokgangaramany says that capacity in the civil service cannot happen overnight. But not everybody needs to be an expert (but rather know where to find one).

#DishaColLab How to create a nimble infrastructure to run experiments? Pipelines and a whole range of interventions to create evidence at speed, argues @phaldea @CSBC_AshokaUniv.

#DishaColLab Ah, the magic word, uttered by @makkifadi: Scale. How to scale up the skills? @jafarbaig92 says that inserting yourself into organisations to build champions is effective to build skills and covers diverse ground.

#DishaColLab @makkifadi says that stakeholder engagements take a long time because policy and implementation has a bandwidth problem: behavioral science comes on top of already heavy workloads.

#DishaColLab @makkifadi, who built @NudgeLebanon, no longer queries whether a behavioral approach is needed—but despite the obvious need, the field still requires skill sets that are varied and diverse.

#DishaColLab @jafarbaig92 discloses career advice: Don’t chase the obvious job if you want to go into behavioral science. Become a problem solver. Observe the world around you, find a problem and try to solve it. Exposing yourself to different problems is a career quality.

#DishaColLab @jafarbaig92 asks where do innovation exploits stop? Always innovating might not be sustainable, but a mindset of problem solving is. That mindset can be nourished by bringing together different minds, different people, different disciplines.

#DishaColLab @jafarbaig92 on what makes a good behavioral science team: find people who are curious, want to find solutions, want to use behavioral science ethically and thoughtfully.

#DishaColLab @phaldea @CSBC_AshokaUniv on government’s decision cycle: often too short to generate new evidence. But balance between long-term research and no evidence needs to be found: shorter, quicker research and also with populations that are difficult to reach.

#DishaColLab @sd268 from @ideas42 on applied behavioral science: at first focused on simplification of processes, but now trying to do several things: identifying behavioral problems buried in broader issues; champion behavioral science theory; evaluation and measurement.
