Identifying Key Behaviors: Common Pitfalls and Solutions PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 29-slide 3 Bs of Behavioral Change PowerPoint presentation, outlines common mistakes encountered during the initial phase of identifying specific key behaviors in decision-making processes. It emphasizes the importance of clarity and specificity in defining behaviors. The first point highlights the error of identifying broad behaviors without precise definitions and timelines. For example, rather than simply stating a goal like "eating healthy," it suggests a more specific target, such as "eating an apple every morning."

The second mistake discussed is the tendency to confuse results with behaviors. Many individuals may view outcomes, such as "losing 10 pounds," as the behavior itself. The slide stresses the need to pinpoint the actual behaviors that contribute to achieving such results, which is critical for effective strategy formulation.

The third point addresses the misalignment in system design, where behaviors like "Log-in" and "Sign up" are mistakenly treated as primary targets. Instead, the focus should be on understanding user actions that occur after these initial steps, ensuring that the design supports the intended user journey.

Lastly, the slide points out the necessity of securing buy-in from all stakeholders regarding the desired behavior. This collective agreement is vital to prevent misalignment and inefficiencies in execution. The overall message is clear: specificity in behavior identification and stakeholder alignment are crucial to avoid pitfalls in decision-making processes.
