Intro

In this unique episode of the Scrum.org Community Podcast, Patricia Kong and PSTs Ryan Ripley, Todd Miller and Will Seele discuss the application of the Evidence-Based Management (EBM) framework to career management. They highlight that intentional career management can improve retention rates by 30-50% and that 94% of employees would stay longer at a company investing in their career development. They share personal experiences with using EBM tools like empathy mapping and a career canvas to align career aspirations with organizational goals. They emphasize the importance of co-creation and non-surprising data presentations to foster productive conversations. The conversation also touches on the relevance of EBM for independent consultants and small business owners.
