Show Notes:

Jez has spent more than 15 years proving that behavioural science is one of the most commercially powerful tools a consultancy can use. He built Cowry Consulting into a globally recognised practice with over 200 case studies and clients including Amazon, Tesco, Aegon, Sky, and HSBC.
The firm’s systematic approach to behavioural design became a competitive advantage, a way to win more sophisticated client briefs and produce measurable outcomes.
Long before Cowry, Jez co-founded #ogilvychange and helped create Nudgestock, which positioned behavioural science at the centre of business problem-solving worldwide. His book Ripple distills the practical, sometimes surprising ways small interventions can create large organisational impact.
Today, Jez continues to shape the field through Diversifi and City University London. For consultants, his journey demonstrates the value of building a methodology, productizing expertise, and nurturing a team capable of consistently delivering high-impact client work.
