Would you like to know more about Behavioural Economics? Why we do what we do, rather than what we should do…
What is it? Behavioural Economics is increasing our understanding of the way we make decisions. This knowledge is helping businesses develop more profitable models, regulators more effective controls and governments more efficient incentives.
In this session will look at the theories underpinning the science and consider some of the more common decision errors.
By the end of the session, you will have a greater insight into the ways a gentle nudge may be more effective than a hefty shove!

Before the days of Google Maps and Sat-Nav systems, we had the fold-out Michellin Map. If you were lost on the road, you pulled over, opened the map, found where you started and found your desired destination.
By having your entire journey in one view, it allows you to understand where you are, where you need to go and where you may have taken a wrong turn. This view is crucial when developing a new business. For this 60-minute Zoom session, join the NatWest Business Builder team as we explore the Business Model Canvas, a one-page ‘road map’ of your business.
Examining the 9 key areas of a business model to examine the best practises for your business, you’ll come away with a sense of where small, medium and large changes could be made to your business model to improve the way you operate for maximum profitability and rapid growth.
Norfolk businesses are being offered the chance to find out how Apprenticeships can make a real difference to their organisation, as part of a free online event from City College Norwich.
Drawing on their extensive experience of working with businesses from all major sectors of the economy, members of the college’s Apprenticeship team will share their insights into the business benefits of hiring an apprentice.
Hiring an apprentice is a productive and effective way to grow talent and develop a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce. Businesses consistently cite developing skills relevant to their organisation, improved productivity, and improvements in the quality of their product or service, as key benefits of Apprenticeships.
As well as covering the key benefits of Apprenticeship training, the event will also tackle some common misconceptions.
Employing an apprentice is easier than many people think, and the recently revamped Apprenticeship Standards are more flexible than ever and can be highly tailored to businesses’ individual needs.
The range of Apprenticeships available extends far beyond the traditional ‘trades’ that many people still think of when Apprenticeships are mentioned. For example, City College Norwich offers Apprenticeships in areas such as Digital Marketing, IT, Customer Service, Business Administration, HR, Accountancy, and Management.
The event will also address some wider topics that are key to any business today – digital marketing tips, how to improve your social media, and the importance of leadership.
