Today’s episode is about the Fun Theory and using it to improve your compliance communications.
Some of the highlights include:
- The Fun Theory – the easiest way to change things for the better is to make it fun to do.
- Some Examples
- Volkswagen – Piano Staircase, bottle arcade, Speed Camera Lottery.
- Airplane Safety Videos.
- Why does fun work?
- When you do an activity that’s fun, it feels good and it is intrinsically rewarding.
- It has a positive effect on motivation levels.
- It has a longer lasting effect. You want to do it again. In a way, it’s addictive.
- Learning requires repetition
- Maintain Fun – Variety and Surprise. Novelty breads engagement. Need to constantly switch it up. Try lots of little things.
- Why are we talking about this?
- Scare tactics drive bad behavior underground.
- John Cleese – humor is the easiest way to get people from the closed to the open mode.
- Need to get people to talk about these important issues – create a social environment where people are more likely to speak up.
