This episode accompanies the last module of the course – module 15, which is all about building an evidence-based management capacity in organisations.

There are 3 levels – you as an evidence-based manager; your colleagues who you can influence and guide in evidence based approaches; and the skills, practices and processes in your organisation.

We hear from several experts about ways to build on what you’ve learned, and how others have approached the development of evidence-based practices in their organisations, including the CIPD, the professional HR body, about how it promotes this practice among its membership.

And you’re never alone, there are always others forging a path in evidence-based management who you can reach out to, learn from and share with.

Host: Karen Plum

Eric Barends, Managing Director, Center for Evidence-Based Management
Denise Rousseau, H J Heinz University Professor, Carnegie Mellon University
