Why do students choose to study evidence-based management, and what do they value about the way it's taught and the skills and experience they acquire? Here we spotlight the stories of five students who have transformed their approach to learning and working through evidence-based management.

We explore the tangible benefits of evidence-based management for students of different life stages - discovering how critical thinking becomes a valued approach, leading to better outcomes in teamwork, recruitment, data analysis and how evidence is defined and sourced.

The guests share the creative teaching strategies that helped them connect with the topic - making this essential skill engaging and relevant, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, they illustrate how evidence-based management not only equips students and professionals with vital life skills but also enhances communication and trust in diverse environments.

And in a world increasingly full of misinformation and disinformation, discover how challenging what you know becomes the first step in a journey of better informed decision-making.
