Organizational Behavior Management

Doing Business With Behavior Analysis

Abstract

Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) practitioners (OBMers for short) are not your everyday professional. OBMers have deep knowledge and experience in a scientific method for improving performance in the workplace—that is the OBM side. Second, OBMers have a passion to bring OBM creatively and innovatively to the world while maintaining integrity in the science—that’s the entrepreneurial side. OBMers are resourceful and seek feedback throughout their careers to hone skills and work toward achieving success through science and passion. Many resources teach about OBM and help practitioners. The goal of this presentation is to provide a view of the core elements to OBM and some advanced topics, share applications of OBM across industries and problems worth solving, three problem solving strategies from OBM and the world of business. The goal with this presentation is to build upon existing knowledge of OBM and applying to solve business problems no matter what industry.
