Guy Champniss PhD

Behavioural Scientist. Consultant. Professor.

Applied behavioural science for behaviour change, sustainable innovation and improved business performance.

I support leadership teams to improve the effectiveness and performance of their businesses, through the strategic application of social psychology and behavioural science. 
 

Across multinationals, start-ups and with Venture Capital, I work with teams that lead marketing, strategic communications, L&D, employee engagement, change management and product and service design.

Guy has brought phenomenal impact to the work of my teams at both AstraZeneca and Microsoft. ​His ability to help design ambitious programs which incorporate behavioural science to support behaviour and organisational change has been game changing for our work.

 

I have really been impressed by the academic knowledge which Guy can bring and then apply in very practical ways to business challenges in order to get great results.
