Alexander has worked with Australian organisations and government departments to set up and build capacity in Behavioural Insights teams; created an evidence-informed toolkit to help scale up behaviour change interventions, founded and led SCRUB, a 21-wave rapid cycle survey of Australians' COVID-19 behaviours to reduce harms and support a sustainable recovery; convened academics, businesses, and government to experiment with business model innovations as part of the Waste and Circular Economy Collaboration; and co-leads the Climate Adaptation Mission.
