Kristen Berman - The Behavioral Product Manager (Reprise)

Episode Description: Today's guest is Kristen Berman, co-founder of Duke University's Common Cents Lab, as well as co-founder (with Dan Ariely) of Irrational Labs. Kristen was on the founding team for the behavioral economics group at Google and has spoken at Facebook, Fidelity, Equifax, Stanford, and many more. Erik and Zarak chat with Kristen about her philosophy of incorporating behavioral science into the Product Manager's domain, creating what she dubs the Behavioral Product Manager . Kristen outlines how behavioral science gives us the missing pieces of the Product Manager's toolkit. Producer's Note: This interview with our guest Kristen Berman and our hosts Zarak Kahn and Erik Johnson originally took place in 2018. In 2021, Kristen wrote a chapter for the book "Building Behavioral Science in an Organization," which was edited by Zarak Khan and Laurel Newman, and published through Action Design Press with assistance from U Penn's Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences program. Kristen's chapter in that book centers around the same topic as this interview: How behavioral science could and should be applied to Product Management. With the book release last year, we felt it was a great opportunity to reprise this fascinating interview, and generate some further discussion about this topic.
