Online course for change and research practitioners

Behavioral Analysis

Stop wasting time on surface-level fixes. Discover exactly why your people aren't changing — then remove those roadblocks with a proven diagnostic system.

Most change starts with solutions before understanding the real problems. This course gives you a diagnostic method grounded in behavioral science to find the true reasons people aren't changing.

The problem

The solution was chosen before the barrier was understood

Training gets used for problems caused by workflow or incentives. System redesign gets used for problems that are really about confidence or competing motivations. Everyone gets the same intervention even when different groups face different barriers — because no one diagnosed the problem first.

Adoption is stuck and nobody knows why.

The rollout happened. Usage flatlined. The explanations are guesses.

More training is not working.

If the barrier is not a capability gap, training cannot fix it.

The data exists but does not explain behavior.

Dashboards show what is happening — not what is blocking change.

Robert Meza

Founder, Aim For Behavior

Robert Meza is a behavioral strategist and the founder of Aim For Behavior, a behavioral science consultancy that helps organizations make change happen in real work. He has spent his career helping teams move from change plans to adopted behaviour, and built these courses to put that same approach in practitioners’ hands.

If you can name why people aren't changing, the next intervention gets much clearer. This course is how I get to that diagnosis.

What learners say

5.0 from 13 reviews · verified course platform

“This course elevated my confidence by taking it because It offered that extra perspective I might not have known about or seen before. One of the greatest things about the course for me was seeing TDF and then seeing the indicators for TDF as I found them very helpful. Appreciate the course and you putting it together Robert!”

Adam H

“Many thanks to Robert Meza for sharing his knowledge and providing learners with a comprehensive layer of understanding around the applications of COM-B and TDF for analysing behaviour. Really interesting and hands-on course!”

Giulio

“It's been great to refresh my knowledge on behavioral diagnosis using COM-B and TDF, a way to truly understand barriers and enablers for target behaviors and design interventions that work. I'd recommend this highly actionable course from Aim For Behavior!”

Zoe

“This course definitely deepened my understanding and added new layers to how I approach behavioral analysis - I couldn't recommend it more. If you're looking to bridge the gap between behavioral theory and hands-on application, this course is an excellent resource!”

Valeriia A

“Really informative mini course. Explained in a way that it's understandable for everyone. I hope we can see more of this mini courses in the future. Thanks!”

Felipe B

“This course is filled with invaluable insights that have transformed the way I approach my work. The content is really good and also incredibly applicable. I've already implemented several techniques in my projects, thanks to the practical wisdom shared here.”

“Short and sweet and to the point. I appreciated how it showed practical application of the frameworks and it left me feeling more confident in incorporating these models in the work I do!”

Tracy J

“Great course for helping you understanding not only what the COM-B model is but also how to put it in practice. I particularly like the way he takes you through multiple barriers and codes them as an example, it really helps solidify the knowledge, especially where some barriers could at first thought be placed into multiple categories.”

Oliver

“It is a very helpful course; I liked very much the structure and case studies and practical examples. It is presented in an engaging way, and Robert provided a lot of resources and materials. I fully recommend taking the course!”

Antonis

“Practical and easy to understand in a way that enables the learnings to be transferred to many contexts!”

Michelle T

“It was logical, literature-informed, data-driven, practitioner-friendly, and leveraged best practices of data collection principles and data analysis methods.”

Sharfa B

“It was great to find, and complete the Behavioral analysis course. It was really great to get an expert opinion and case study's on best practice to get the best out of the COMB assessment and how to analyse data against the Theoretical Domain Framework more accurately.”

Elliot H

“Refreshing to learn behavioral frameworks such as COM-B & TDF as methods to analyze your research data to better identify the key insights and create the right interventions and experiments at the right time while overlaying with your journey map.”
