Evidence Based Management – Removing Water Melons

Evidence-based management is an approach that involves consciously setting aside the accepted conventions and hierarchy of opinion, and instead, using critical thinking and the best available evidence to make decisions. Using it to make managerial and people-related decisions can drive better outcomes in every aspect of a business, from diversity and inclusion to profitability. To us it’s about removing the ‘water melons’.
Evidence-based management makes us more effective and accountable leaders and delivers better outcomes for our organisations. The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and the Center for Evidence-Based Management (CEBMa) outline six steps you can follow to increase the likelihood of a favourable outcome from your decisions:
- 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.
