Abstract

Across industries, failure to find and follow the best logic and evidence leads to relying on conventional wisdom that is frequently incorrect or incomplete, and therefore, potentially hazardous to organizational health. This chapter introduces the ideas behind evidence-based management, and shows how managers and their companies can profit by turning this management technique into a way of thinking. This chapter is excerpted from ‘Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths and Total Nonsense'.
