The Behaviour Change Wheel organizes the taxonomy into a way that allows it to be used as a tool during the design and implementation of tools. You can find a presentation from Dr Susan Mitchie, presenting that approach in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-KvaIsb0fM
Thanks to Domenic Vogel’s son for providing some background ambience during the interview. Its always amazing how the sound of a child playing helps adults to remember to play too.
