Snowballs & Flywheels was a social enterprise who helped people and companies by connecting meaning to motion. Creatively. Effectively. At scale. We did it by using the power of networks: combined forces of peer-to-peer influence, social technology and behaviour dynamics. This combination made sustainable, scalable change possible. This website is an ode to everyone who joined us in action. And maybe an inspiration for others.
Snowballs & Flywheels knew how to apply scientific findings on human behaviour change into ICT applications in an excellent way. This combination made them innovative as well as result driven.
Snowballs & Flywheels created engagement, enthusiasm and willingness to change.
Created a positive buzz and empowered the informal network. You could feel the change, -and measure it-. Colleagues even talked about it with friends, family and customers.
A peer-to-peer approach produces lasting change more quickly and happily (yes, “happily”) than a traditional top-down approach.
The need for change?
Creating movement, maintaining momentum
At Snowballs & Flywheels, we tapped into the intrinsic motivation in the people in organizations, discovered authentic ways of connecting it to the organizational goals, and nurtured and expanded small initiatives until they became full-blown movements (the “snowball effect”). And then we helped keep this momentum up with the right kind of interventions and strategies (the “flywheel effect”).
