"A great video about experiments and bosses – how an evidence-based approach changes authority relationships." (Bob Sutton)
Five Principles of EBM
- Face the hard facts, and build a culture in which people
are encouraged to tell the truth, even if it is unpleasant.
- Be committed to "fact based" decision making -- which
means being committed to getting the best evidence and
using it to guide actions.
- Treat your organization as an unfinished prototype --
encourage experimentation and learning by doing.
- Look for the risks and drawbacks in what people recommend
-- even the best medicine has side effects.
- Avoid basing decisions on untested but strongly held beliefs,
what you have done in the past, or on uncritical "benchmarking"
of what winners do.
