Nudge in Design Training
What is our Nudge in Design training about? Nudge is a set of ideas first researched and developed by Richard H Thaler and Cass R Sunstein. the former went on to win a Nobel prize for economics. We have taken the theory and broken it down into a set of simple ideas. Our latest work involves applying these ideas to design. This includes marketing campaigns, campaign designs, leaflet designs, advertising design and any other communication design.
Tailored Content
We tailor the content of this Nudge in Design training to your organisation. This means we take your examples of design and, prior to the workshop, develop similar designs which incorporate the Nudge principles. These we use in the workshop to illustrate the potential impact of Nudge for your designers.

Reviews
Professional Business Communication training
This class is 3 hours but it didn’t feel like it. It helped that the class is interactive and each person gets a chance to speak at one time or another. Martin did a great job keeping us engaged. I like the way he explained the topics and I genuinenly walked away with some great pointers regarding communication styles.
Martin was a great trainer!
He made the session interesting and engaging, and gave some really helpful tips for working effectively! Definitely one of the best trainers I’ve come across in sessions like this – would recommend.
"Working Effectively" module with Martin Chapman
Martin is a really friendly instructor whose enthusiasm came through even in a virtual training session. He aimed to create rapport among the attendees which I really appreciated. It was great meeting him!
