Commentary on “Consumer behaviour analysis and non-adoption of behavioural interventions: implications for managerial action”

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the difficulties highlighted by Ntinas around supporting change in services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Design/methodology/approach

This commentary examines what is needed for change and reflects on staff culture.

Findings

The authors propose that it is not sensible to separate the culture of a service from the implementation of person-centred approaches and attempt to map how the concepts overlap and are interconnected.

Originality/value

Whilst some elements of culture are clearly important in order to start the process of change, other elements will change as an intervention is introduced and embedded.
