Blog PostThe concept of "nudge" seems to be trending in the public consciousness of the UK at the moment. But why do some people find it morally questionable? And how can it be used in the effective design of systems, processes and working practices?

It has established a behavioural insight team to find cost savings in service delivery through, in Nick Clegg's words, "making the better choice the easier choice".
