Description: Join us for Behavior Beyond the Classroom: Building Transfer Through Environment Design. Most learning doesn’t fail because the content was bad. It fails because the environment wins.

People leave a workshop inspired… then return to the same meetings, the same workflows, the same pressures, and the same cues that trigger old habits. In this Behavioral Science SIG session, we’ll explore the missing link between training and real behavior change: the physical and digital environment people operate in every day. You’ll learn how context-dependent memory, cues, defaults, and social norms quietly shape what people actually do after training often more than motivation ever will.

This session is built for trainers, facilitators, coaches, and instructional designers who want their programs to stick. We’ll move past generic advice about “reinforcement” and get practical: how to design the conditions that make the new behavior easier than the old one. Expect real examples, discussion, and a few simple tools you can apply immediately to increase transfer without adding more training.

Come ready to rethink your role not just as a learning designer, but as a behavior designer.

What's a SIG?

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are small groups of members who share an affinity for a particular aspect of Talent Development. Whether it's a specific approach, a certain skill, or a common role in the industry, a SIG helps bring chapter members together to share in an interest.  

Anyone can start a SIG - all it takes is a shared interest and a meeting place! To learn more, contact the Chapter President, president@detroitatd.org.
