About Changepoints

Rigorous Research. Real-World Application. A Long View on Behavioral Change.

The Origin Story

Changepoints did not begin as a digital product. It began as a question: If we understand why people behave the way they do in relation to energy, waste, and mobility, why do our policy interventions so consistently underperform?

The answer was a failure of translation. There was no structured, repeatable process for taking sophisticated social theory and turning it into practical strategy. Changepoints was built to close that gap.

Funded Research, Applied Practice

The methodology emerged from a series of funded research projects exploring how practice theory could be made useful to policy makers. That research was applied across organisations in government, industry and the third sector.

For many years, the primary public-facing output of this work was a downloadable resource. The toolkit can be downloaded as a pdf here historically, but we have now fully digitized it into the ChangePoints OS to reflect how sustainability teams actually work today.


Custom ESG Research & Intervention Design

While the ChangePoints OS provides the architecture, some challenges require bespoke intelligence. We offer custom research and advisory engagements for enterprise clients, government bodies, and NGOs.

How it works: We partner with your team to conduct deep-dive research into your specific sector’s behavioral bottlenecks. We then deliver 5 custom, rigorously researched intervention case studies, mapped precisely to the ChangePoints methodology and injected directly into your private Notion OS workspace.
