Example Project: Bridge Housing – Using Nudge Theory to Transform Services

Project Outline

Bridge Housing wanted to improve service delivery, reduce friction for tenants, and streamline internal processes. As part of their commitment to innovation, they partnered with Big Picture Training to apply nudge theory across key service areas.

Together, we worked on inspections, rent reviews, arrears communication and the management transfer process. Bridge also trained all managers and formed cross-department project teams, creating strong buy-in and a shared language across the organisation.

Key Outcomes

  • First-time access for property inspections improved from 73% to 95%, saving over $55,000 in staff time annually.
  • Repairs access reached 100% compared to 90% in the control group.
  • Electronic sign-ups introduced in 2021 saved ~45 minutes per sign-up and created annual savings of over $50,000.
  • Rent review compliance increased from 55% to 73%, with tenants on market rent falling from 10% to under 1%.
  • Rent arrears processes were redesigned, improving tenant response rates and resulting in a 34% increase in repayment arrangements.

What Bridge Housing said:

“Using nudge theory prompted us to really think about how we make policy and procedures easy for tenants and staff. Working with Big Picture Training we have improved communications, streamlined processes and begun embedding this approach across our operations.”
