EVIDENCE BASED MANAGEMENT

This paper written by Eric Barends, Denise M. Rousseau an Rob B. Briner, from the Centre for Evidence Based Management, explains what evidence- based practice is and how it can help you and your organization make better decisions.

Whether we work in a bank, hospital, large consulting firm or small startup, as practitioners affecting the lives of so many, we have a moral obligation to use the best available evidence when making a decision. We can do this by learning how to distinguish science from folklore, data from assertions, and evidence from beliefs, anecdotes or personal opinions.
