What Evidence-Based Really Looks Like with Michael Vodianoi

What does evidence-based look like, once you’re inside the organization?

In this episode of the ScienceForWork podcast, we're joined by Michael Vodianoi. Michael shares what he’s learned after transitioning from consulting and assessment development to an internal leadership role in a large organization.

We talk about how evidence-based practice shows up in real decisions—not just slide decks—and what it takes to balance rigor with relevance. From learning through lived experience to reframing what “expertise” actually means, this episode is a candid look at how applied behavioral science can support people, not just process.

Whether you’re internal, external, or somewhere in between, this episode helps reframe what it means to be science-informed in the real world.
