Human behavior drives everything.

Why customers buy. Why habits stick. Why teams succeed or fail. Why users engage, or disengage.

By combining behavioral psychology, influence science, decision-making research, marketing strategy, UX, and emerging technologies including AI, Riley Cabot LLC helps organizations better understand the talent they want to retain, the customers they want to attract, and the systems they build.

Decision Science

How people actually make choices, not how they say they do. Cognitive biases, heuristics, and the gap between intention and behavior.

Influence & Persuasion

The science of how messages, environments, and social proof shape what people think and do, ethically applied.

Behavior Change

Designing systems and experiences that guide people toward better habits, adoption, and outcomes that stick.

Technology & Human Interaction

Navigating the rapidly evolving relationship between people and technology, designing AI systems people trust and use.

Where the work happens.

Whether the challenge involves increasing engagement, improving adoption, designing more effective experiences, or understanding human motivations, the goal remains the same: understand people better, design better systems, create better outcomes.

Organizational Behavior

Rigorous. Human-centered. Applied.

01

Understand the system

Every engagement starts with deeply understanding the people involved: their motivations, constraints, mental models, and the context shaping their behavior.

02

Identify the leverage points

Behavioral science reveals where small interventions produce outsized results. Finding those leverage points and understanding why they work is core to the work.

03

Design for real humans

Strategies built around how people actually think and behave, not rational-actor models. Practical, testable, and grounded in the realities of your organization.

"
The organizations that will thrive are those that develop a genuine, rigorous understanding of the humans involved. Not just the users, customers, or employees, but the people.
