1. The Basic Principles of Evidence-Based Management
1.1 What is evidence-based management?
Evidence-based management is about making decisions through the conscientious, explicit, judicious use of
the best available evidence from multiple sources by:
• Asking: translating a practical issue or problem into an answerable question.
• Acquiring: systematically searching for and retrieving the evidence.
• Appraising: critically judging the trustworthiness and relevance of the evidence.
• Aggregating: weighing and pulling together the evidence.
• Applying: incorporating the evidence into the decision-making process.
• Assessing: evaluating the outcome of the decision taken.
To increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
Three most important elements of evidence-based management:
Evidence-based management is about…
• taking a systematic (six-step) approach to decision-making.
• basing your decisions on multiple sources of evidence.
• basing your decisions on critically appraised evidence.
1.2 What counts as evidence?
Evidence = information (facts or date supporting/contradicting a claim, assumption, or hypothesis).
Evidence can be based on numbers, or it can be qualitative or descriptive. It can come from scientific research.
It can come from local organizational or business indicators. It can come from professional experience.
1.3 Why do we need evidence-based management?
Most management decisions are not based on best available evidence:
• Practitioners base decisions solely on their judgment or personal experience.
• Personal experience alone is not a reliable source.
• Common source of evidence: benchmarking and best practices benchmarking can demonstrate
alternative practices but is not a good indicator of what would work in a different setting.
Barriers to evidence-based practice:
• Few practitioners have been trained in the skills required to critically evaluate the information.
• Important organizational information may be difficult to access.
