The Designed Change Institute is a nonprofit organization which has conducted research, developed new techniques and taught behavioral science around the world. The focus has always been on individual and organizational change and the knowledge and techniques which you can use to make those changes yourself.
The Designed Change Institute is most interested in training your trainers and any individuals who can act as consultants for your organization and for the individuals in it. Our approach insists on affirming that you are the only expert for your own business, on your own life, and that the best way for you to improve your edge over the competition is by making your own personnel into experts in behavioral science. Through simple concepts such as "Performance Shaping Factors", (those powerful controllers of that greatest part of human behavior which is automatic and not intentional and which determines most behavior), through which you can make massive change with little effort.
Our staff does individual consulting, counseling and coaching for personal change, career development and for managing and changing interpersonal relations. You will learn one body of behavioral science techniques and information which you can use personally and within an organizational setting to control perception, thinking and action.
The new form of behavioral science used by the Designed Change Institute focuses largely on two elements: 1.) Old learned responses control and shape how we act. 2.) Feelings, stress and emotions control and drive those behavior patterns. We provide methods for you to use to block any unwanted behavior, and techniques to alter the undesirable feelings which mobilize and drive the behavior patterns. It is a small natural step to apply this to how behavior patterns, attitude and stance hold feelings in your life which encourage illness or support wellness.
The Designed Change Institute has studied the many advances in behavioral science which have been discovered over the course of this century and have been neglected or suppressed. Consequently we have and use an entirely new psychological approach to all our consulting, training and counseling. If you are pleased with what has been done for you by consulting psychologists, don't bother with us. If you are interested in something genuinely new, contact us.
We believe that you cannot bear the expense of human error and low productivity in your organization. We know that you spend at least a quarter of all work related energy on behavior which is non-productive. You probably reluctantly eat the expense that represents in your organization as "part of the cost of doing business" and add it to the cost of consultants who fail to change it. That lost revenue is available to you through these methods which you will integrate with your present methods and training materials.
