Evidence Based Practice Principle (Approach)

Evidence-based management is about making decisionsthrough the conscientious, explicit and judicious and use of availlable evidences.

1 Asking: translating a practical issue or problem into an answerable

question.

2 Acquiring: systematically searching for and retrieving the evidence.

3 Appraising: critically judging the trustworthiness and relevance of the

evidence.

4 Aggregating: weighing and pulling together the evidence.

5 Applying: incorporating the evidence into the decision-making process.

6 Assessing: evaluating the outcome of the decision taken.

Evidence Based Indicator:

Forecases or risk assessment based on the aggregated professional experience of many people are more accurate than one person.
Professional judgements informed by hard data or statistical models are more accurate than judements based solely on individual experience.
Knowledge derivded from scientific research is more accurate than the opinions of experts.
Evaluating the outome of a decision has been found to improve both organisational learning and performance for novel and nonroutine situatinos.

Evidence from practitioners

The professional experience and judgement of managers, consultants, business leaders and other practitioners. Different from intuition, opinion or belief, professional experience is accumulated over time through reflection on the outcomes of similar actions taken in similar situations. This type of evidence is sometimes referred to as ‘tacit’ knowledge.

Evidence from the scientific research literature

The scientific research published in academic journals.

Evidence from the organization

Evidence from the organization can be ‘hard’ numbers such as staff turnover rates, medical errors or productivity levels, but it can also include ‘soft’ elements such as perceptions of the organization’s culture or attitudes towards senior management.

It is also essential to determining likely causes, plausible solutions and what is needed to implement these solutions.

Evidence from stakeholders

Stakeholder values and concerns.
