Motivate people to take action and live more sustainably by increasing their financial wellbeing

As with all behavioural change, helping customers go from intention to action is hard. In behavioural science, this phenomenon is called the intention-action gap, and it’s one of the most important challenges to understand and counteract if we’re to help customers take positive action.

To close the intention-action gap and create positive and impactful financial behaviours, we:
→ Reduce stress and anxiety
→ Infuse positive emotions
→ Build financial confidence
→ Increase financial wellbeing
→ Reward progress to build self-efficacy

The Dreams Scientific Framework for Action Creation

Motivation

Do customers want to take the action?

The Dreams methodology improves motivation by helping end-customers to:

  • Connect to their future selves.
  • Create an emotional connection to their financial goals.
  • Make financial goals social by enabling users to share them with their family and friends.
Ability

Are customers able to take the action?

The Dreams methodology improves ability by:

  • Breaking down goals into smaller more manageable subgoals.
  • Highlighting how small changes in daily life can have a great impact over time.
  • Communicating (in language and design) in a way that end-customers understand and identify with.
  • Giving the right feedback at the right time to celebrate progress.
  • Reward positive behaviours with moments of joy.
Prompts

Is there an easy way to initiate and sustain the action?

In the Dreams method, we do this by:

  • Using triggers where money is saved in response to certain external events.
  • Using automatic transfer and thereby changing the financial context for the end-customer.
  • Linking saving advice to everyday behaviours.
