It’s applicable across product, service, interaction and architectural design, aimed at socially and environmentally beneficial behaviour change. The patterns are drawn from a range of disciplines, and are phrased as questions or provocations to enable the toolkit’s use as both a brainstorming tool and a guide for exploring the field of design for behaviour change.

The toolkit’s in use by industry, public sector and educational organisations worldwide, and Requisite Variety also offers workshops and consultancy using it, as well as exploring other aspects of design for behaviour change, and the interface between people and technology.
