BEHAVIORAL PSYCHOLOGY & THE BOIS MODEL

The BOIS model is a tool to help organizations navigate change and adapt to rapidly changing markets. It focuses on identifying specific behaviors that need to be influenced in order to achieve organizational objectives, maintain organizational health and adapt to change. It promotes psychological safety and collaboration among employees, and is well-suited for organizations using OKRs. It helps companies build stronger teams! Read more about the BOIS model below.

Unlocking the Power of Behavioral Psychology And The BOIS Model To Influence Change!

How often do you feel that there are no desirable behaviors within your organization after a market disruption? As a change consultant, one of the most important aspects to focus on when it comes to influencing change in an organization is social dynamics and behavior. I believe these play an important role in fostering creativity, innovation, and sustainable outcomes. To support this, I use the powerful BOIS model.

BOIS Model is a breakthrough for organizations exposed to accelerated change that allow leaders and consultants to focus on what matters: BEHAVIORS.

It is based on behavioral psychology and new concepts of the impact of fast-paced change in the brain. It has been developed by myself and the Enterprise Agility University several years ago. BOIS is also a crucial part of Enterprise Agility and can be used with other frameworks such as Scrum or SAFe to increase impact.

BOIS is an acronym that stands for Behaviors, Objectives, Impact, and Sustainability. The model is used to identify the behaviors that need to be influenced in order to achieve specific organizational objectives, maintain a high level of organizational health, and adapt to rapidly changing markets and high uncertainty.

BOIS links the desired behaviors to the required business objective(s) and the expected impact on the organization. The focus is on short-term gains so that the behaviors are sustainable during periods of accelerated change or disruption.

BOIS first identifies the specific behaviors that need to be influenced to support the overall organizational objectives. It ensures that behaviors align with business objectives so that we can track progress and measure success. We also look for short-term achievements that help ensure the new behaviors are sustainable, and that they can be maintained over the long term, even as the organization and external environment change.

One approach We find effective is to create an environment that promotes psychological safety by actively encouraging employees to share their ideas and speak up without fear, in order to make the desired behavior sustainable. This helps individuals feel more comfortable expressing their thoughts and concerns and experimenting with new behaviors.

Another strategy we like to use is to foster collaboration by pairing employees, keeping in mind the connection between desired objectives and expected behaviors. This develops new ideas, contributes to unique perspectives, and strengthens the bond between team members while you, as a change consultant, connect your strategy to the 4 domains of the BIOS model.

BOIS emphasizes behaviors and objectives, making it well-suited for organizations using OKRs. The OKRs provide a clear overview of what needs to be achieved, while BOIS outlines the steps needed to achieve this in a sustainable way.

As you can see, the BOIS Model is a powerful tool that can help drive exponential change in companies exposed to accelerated markets. By identifying specific behaviors that need to be influenced and aligning them with organizational objectives, focusing on impact and short-term gains (quick wins), and ensuring long-term sustainability, the BOIS model can empower organizations successfully navigate change, increase resilience, and build stronger teams.
