At GRIST, we believe everyone deserves the chance to be good at what they do. We’ve spent three decades honing and refining our approach to developing people and helping organisations deliver change at scale.

GRIST’s micro-behavioural approach makes adopting new behaviours easier. Distilling change down to its essence by defining a critical few micro-behaviours focuses energy and produces outstanding results. It’s a change system that delivers predictable outcomes.

Now, after decades of crafting this approach to behavioural change, we offer a new, exciting approach to engagement and learning.

Introducing the GIST by GRIST.

Bite-size videos that provide the very essence – the GIST – of what you need to know delivered using easy, proven behavioural change methodologies – by GRIST.

And we have partnered with Australia’s funniest people – the twist – to ensure learning lands in a way that makes it stick!

The learning power of humour

Humour is an intrinsic part of what makes us human.

Humour demands our attention and highlights the ridiculousness of doing things the wrong way – and positions the right skills as obvious and easy to adopt. In turn, learners are more likely to apply new behaviours and, after getting a positive outcome, stick to those behaviours long-term.

Humour is distinctly social. We connect emotionally to it. When humour makes your learning and development engaging, meaningful, memorable and relevant, it sparks discussion. You might share it with colleagues. Or chat about it over lunch.
