4E Framework

What is the 4E Framework?

The 4E Framework consists of four strategies starting with 'E' tailored—which vary based on the context—to enhance organizational effectiveness in diverse fields, from social media marketing to psychiatric rehabilitation.

The image shows the text "4E" in large, bold letters at the center, enclosed within a circular arrow. The arrow is multicolored, transitioning from purple to red to blue to orange, forming a continuous loop around the "4E."

What is a framework?

Behavior change frameworks are the bedrock of applied behavioral science. Designed by behavioral scientists for policy makers and industry leaders, these summaries of cutting- edge decision-making insights are essential for applying research in the public and private spheres. Frameworks distill strategies for influencing human decisions into simple, portable mnemonic devices or acronyms. You might think of them as secret keys that allow us to access complex ideas, which makes it possible for theoretical insights about how people think and act to make their way into the practices of organizations across every industry and environment. To understand more about how these frameworks work in practice, check out our case studies.

I was blown away with their application and translation of behavioral science into practice. They took a very complex ecosystem and created a series of interventions using an innovative mix of the latest research and creative client co-creation. I was so impressed at the final product they created, which was hugely comprehensive despite the large scope of the client being of the world's most far-reaching and best known consumer brands. I'm excited to see what we can create together in the future.
