The Fogg Behavior Model shows that three elements must converge at the same moment for a behavior to occur: Motivation, Ability, and a Prompt. When a behavior does not occur, at least one of those three elements is missing.
If you know of work related to the FBM, please share it on the page for references and connections. This will be an ongoing resource for people designing for and studying behavior change.

I teach small groups of professionals how to use my methods to change behavior. Now done via Zoom, my training goes above and beyond my book. I call it “Boot Camp.” Learn more here: bjfogg.com/bootcamp
The Fogg Behavior Model shows that three elements must converge at the same moment for a behavior to occur: Motivation, Ability, and a Prompt. When a behavior does not occur, at least one of those three elements is missing.
The FBM highlights three principal elements, each of which has subcomponents. Specifically, the FBM outlines Core Motivators (Motivation), Simplicity Factors (Ability), and the types of Prompts. The subcomponents define the larger elements. For example, in the FBM the word Ability refers to the how the Simplicity Factors work together in the context of a Prompt.
The video below is about how motivation changes over time.
The video below is about competing motivations.
The video below is about how motivation and ability change when you start tiny.

The video below shows how the Fogg Behavior Model applies to groups.
To learn many practical uses of my Behavior Model, you can apply to join my "Boot Camp in Behavior Design." This hands-on training is for professionals who want to create products that change people's behavior for the better.
Over 90% of people who join me report (in an anonymous survey) that my Boot Camp was the best training experience of their careers.
