Before you get to know us at CMO, you should get to know our foundational science: Organizational Behavior Management. In plain language, organizational behavior management, or OBM, is the science of human behavior applied in work settings<\/strong><\/span>, with the goal of improving human performance and achieving significant business outcomes for the organizations in which the strategies are being implemented.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″][et_pb_testimonial author=”Shannon Biagi, CEO” job_title=”MS, BCBA” portrait_url=”https:\/\/www.chiefmotivatingofficers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Headshot-Shannon-Biagi.jpg” quote_icon_color=”#0a76b6″ quote_icon_background_color=”#ffffff” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”36px” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ body_text_align=”center” body_font_size=”19px” background_color=”#0a76b6″ background_layout=”dark”]<\/p>\n “It’s all the same science!”<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n If you have heard of the field of Behavior Analysis, then you are familiar with some of the concepts and principles that drive our work:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″ background_color=”#f2f2f2″][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font_size=”16px” background_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”right” custom_margin=”25%||||false|false” custom_padding=”15px|15px|15px|15px|false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″]<\/p>\n While OBM didn\u2019t really get its wings until the 1970s, when Dr. Aubrey Daniels began the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, applications of Behavior Analysis in various businesses and industries were already happening!

The focus of PM, as it is affectionately called, is typically individual-performer focused \u2013 looking at an employee\u2019s antecedents, behaviors, and consequences to determine individualized interventions to improve performance. Dr. Aubrey Daniels<\/a> is the father of PM, and provides a wide range of resources and support for learning about this big subset of OBM practice.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Behavioral Systems Analysis” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n This area, known as BSA for short (we certainly love our acronyms), \u201czooms out\u201d from the individual performer and focuses much more heavily on the entire organizational system. We often sort our analyses into three levels:<\/p>\n Dr\u2019s.

Getting employees to continue to engage in behaviors like wearing protective equipment or effortful practices that make their work take longer is difficult, because the consequences of being unsafe don\u2019t always result in injury or punishment. BBS practitioners influence leader behavior that leads to more safe teams, even when the boss isn\u2019t watching. [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Consumer Behavior Analysis” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n Consumer behavior analysis is an amazing application of OBM and general behavior analytic strategies designed to influence buyer behavior. Practitioners in this area have expanded our traditional ABC paradigm to answer the question: why do people purchase what they do? These practitioners are found in marketing firms or departments, but can make huge impacts in organizations seeking to improve healthy food choices, reduce carbon emissions, and more.
