The Behavioural Insights Team is a unique company. We started life inside No.10 Downing Street as the world’s first government institution dedicated to the application of behavioural sciences. We are now a world-leading social purpose company whose mission is to help organisations in the UK and overseas to apply behavioural insights in support of social purpose goals.
The company itself has three owners: the employees, the UK government, and Nesta (the UK's leading innovation charity).
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation is a philanthropic, not-for-profit grant making institution based in New York City.
Established in 1934 by Alfred Pritchard Sloan Jr., then-President and Chief Executive Officer of the General Motors Corporation, the Foundation makes grants in support of original research and education in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and economic performance.
Behavioural Exchange 2015 is supported through the Foundation’s Economic Institutions, Behavior, and Performance program, which provides funding for objective, nonpartisan economic research that can inform and improve critical decisions made by regulators, policymakers, and the public.
Nesta is an innovation charity with a mission to help people and organisations bring great ideas to life. It is dedicated to supporting ideas that can help improve all our lives, with activities ranging from early stage investment to in-depth research and practical programmes.
Nesta aims to boost innovative potential - to help individuals and organisations design and grow better ideas, which can improve the quality of many peoples’ lives.
They judge their success in diverse ways – in investment through growing social impact, capital value and pioneering new types of finance; in research through the quality and influence of their analysis and ideas; in the Innovation Lab through the reach and depth of the ventures and projects they back, including both direct impact and the way that Nesta’s work influences public policy.
The Behavioral Insights Group (BIG), co-directed by Iris Bohnet and Max Bazerman, brings together Harvard’s outstanding group of decision research scholars, behavioral economists, and other behavioral scientists to focus their energies on improving how decisions are made, both by leaders, and by individuals. BIG is driven by the belief that improving the quality of our leaders’ decisions is a core lever we possess to improve the world.
As a research program hosted by the Center for Public Leadership and Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), BIG integrates its research with the teaching and social change initiatives of the Center and the School.
Since inception in 1944, the World Bank has expanded from a single institution to a closely associated group of five development institutions.
Their mission evolved from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) as facilitator of post-war reconstruction and development to the present-day mandate of worldwide poverty alleviation in close coordination with their affiliate, the International Development Association, and other members of the World Bank Group, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
Today, they have a multidisciplinary and diverse staff that includes economists, public policy experts, sector experts and social scientists - and now more than a third of their staff is based in country offices.
The Centre for Public Impact is a not-for-profit foundation, funded by The Boston Consulting Group, dedicated to improving the positive impact of governments.
Public impact is what governments achieve for their citizens. The Centre for Public Impact brings together world leaders to learn, exchange ideas and inspire each other to strengthen the public impact of their organisations. Sharing insights from around the world, our global forums highlight what has worked and where challenges require new approaches.
