At BC Behavioural Insights Group (BC BIG), the challenges we face are evolving and so are our approaches. Today’s complex, interconnected challenges require adaptive, holistic and collaborative approaches. That’s where behavioural systems mapping (BSM) comes in. It’s a method that blends behavioural science with systems thinking to help us map out the relevant actors, their behaviours and how these influence and interact with one another to impact the desired outcome.
