Start With Behavioral Science
When you're designing for people, you should always start with the science of people: behavioral science and design psychology.
From a foundation of the most the relevant behavioral science you can be your most strategic, most creative, and most efficient.

How It Works: Start With Behavioral Science Ideation
The Start: We begin with a customized “start with science" package of the most relevant psychological science and behavioral design. This includes academic science as well as science-minded understandings of business strategy, best practices, artistic techniques, consumer insight, employee insight, and trend analysis.
The Process: With that science, we build and ideate in a joyful, creative, and impactful process called "define + apply" that can be done in one talk, one workshop, multiple sessions, or as more regular consulting.
The Result: Everything you ideate and design is built on the foundation of the most advanced and relevant behavioral design knowledge and practices.
The formula is simple but powerful: science + your creativity + a process = magic.

When you start with science, you start very close to the finish line of a great idea.

How It Worked: Everywhere
There's a start with behavioral science for everything.
There's a science of choice, engagement, story, motivation, Gen-Z, and even a science of cool. We have developed start with science on these topics as well as custom start with science packages for theme parks, streaming platforms, marketers, activists, trainers, leaders, distributed work, internal communications, doctors, and more.

How It Works Better: Comparison to Traditional Forms
In most traditional ideation sessions, there’s a breakthrough moment where someone realizes a fairly basic truth about human experience and then they design an idea from it.
We begin your ideation with these truths. We bring in basic and some not-so-basic truths of human experience, and then bring more clarity, volume, and proper ideating methods to provide your creativity the strongest foundations to build on.
Start With Science also excels in the distributed work as it answers the need for structure in video meetings and asynchronous work. By Staring With Science, you have a constant return point that anchors a single session or month of ideation providing what researchers call “constrained creativity.”

The Promise
Everything that ever has or ever will feel amazing is because of forces that psychological science mostly knows. The best consumer experiences, theme park rides, movies, concerts, products, games, ads, and work environments are all following, not breaking, the invisible rules and forces identified in psychological science. We begin your ideation by bringing you these forces identified by science, and then letting you set your creativity free with them.
Let your creativity stand on the shoulders of the knowledge of science. And remember, no one knows all the relevant science. Even the absolute best people in the world at their jobs don't know all the relevant science. That means at any moment, any of us can climb up a couple steps toward a new or better idea by starting with a little more science.
